Let's welcome Mrs. Annell George-McLawhorn & her business, Half Moon Marketplace as our newest sponsor for 2023. Mrs. Annell is very big into "giving back" so this award will be named "Act of Giving Back". A random tech card will be pulled on Sunday before 1st round eliminations (from Saturday & Sunday's tech cards). The winner will receive a $35.00 Visa gift card. If y'all haven't figured out by now, Mrs. Annell is the wife of Ed McLawhorn & mom to Avery McLawhorn. Be sure to tell her "Thank You" when you see her in the pits this year supporting her guys! Thank you for the support of CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association!!!

🔊🔊🔊 Listen up in the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association pits as we announce more exciting news for the 2023 season! ATI Performance Products has come on board with us this season. Each race event winner will receive a $100.00 product certificate & each race event runner-up will receive a $50.00 product certificate to use towards the purchase of an ATI Performance Products. But that's not all, they will also be awarding the 2023 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Champion a $500.00 certificate towards the purchase of an ATI Performance Products transmission. I think all of us racers have heard & more than likely used ATI Performance Products on our race vehicles. Check out their line of products on their website www.atiracing.com & be sure if you call to discuss any of their products with them, to tell them Thank You for their support of our association.

We're in the short rows to our first event of the 2023 season so y'all be sure to get those hot rods ready & we look forward to seeing you all at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway in March.
