Sunday's race was delayed a few hours due to a major oil down on the track but once the action got going, it went rapidly & we were able to compete our first race weekend of 2024. Mike Moller kicked off the day winning the Warren Engines sponsored Dash for Cash. He was dialed a 8.52 & ran a 8.5216 at 77.20 mph. He edged out 2 other racers that also went dead on. We pulled a random tech card from Saturday & Sunday's entries for the Half Moon Marketplace "Act of Giving Back" & Sterling Simmons was awarded the $35.00 Visa gift card. We had 31 entries make the first round call. First round was a battle of 2023 Champions as Kevin Locklear, 2023 CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Champion lined up against Charlie Wisecarver, 2023 Classic Gear Jammers Champion. Kevin came out on the losing end of this run but he didn't leave empty handed. He got the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package award. He was dialed a 6.60, had a .0879 RT, & ran a 6.6056 at 100.63 mph. Based on CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association rules for 2024, all package awards must be on the + side & no red lights. Unfortunately round 2 of eliminations tested us on our own rules but we followed suit & made the correct calling. Each pair either had a red light at the hit or a breakout on top end so we were unable to award a Ford's Fuel and Propane/ Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants 2nd Round Best Losing Package. We choose to carry this award over to 3rd round. Charlie Wisecarver lost in the 3rd round so he was given the Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants PRO 112+ 5 gallon pail of fuel as well as his 3rd round losing money. Russell Ghent & Mike Moller would meet up as the first pair of the semis. Russ missed the tree on this one & Moller came out on top & was the first half of our final weekend finals. Next up was Ed McLawhorn & Steve Lucas. There was an .02 difference at the hit going to Lucas & he came out on top in this run. Ed was dialed a 6.91, had a .0674 RT & ran a 6.8926 at 93.71 mph. The 2 finalists are no strangers to the Winner's Circle & both guys would give anyone the shirts off their backs if needed. After a little back & forth action in the staging lanes, the coin flip was won by Moller taking the right lane for the finals. "The Slow Ride" was dialed a 8.51 & had the reaction time advantage with his .0290 RT taking the win over Lucas. Lucas was dialed a 7.10, had a .0529 RT, & ran a 7.0909 at 90.33 mph. Mike's two sons was present for this win & the smiles on all 3 of their faces was priceless; they were just missing Mrs. Jan! Once again today, we pulled from our extra sponsorship money courtesy of GBM Land & Construction to pay $2000.00 to the winner. Moller also received a $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, a can of FOGGIT, a certificate for a set of spark plugs from E3 Ignition, a certificate for 50% off one item from Zamp Racing, a $100.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance, $100.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, & a 5 gallon pail of fuel from Fuel Factory. Lucas received his race winnings as well s a certificate for a set of spark plugs from E3 Ignition, a $50.00 gift certificate from Meziere Enterprises, $50.00 certificate from Edelbrock Performance, $50.00 certificate from COMP Cams, & 5 gallons of fuel from Fuel Factory. Tanner Hiatt taking the driver's duties away from his dad, Terry, was awarded the Dunn Logging Company Paul Bunyan Award/Best Reaction Time for his .0002 in round 2 of eliminations. Sterling Simmons had a mishap with his two step at the hit during round 2 so he was given the McLawhorn Racing Hard Luck Award. The Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award is was awarded to Curt Smith Jr. for taking out Saturday's runner-up, Scotty Galyean during round 1 as Saturday's race winner, Lynwood did not compete in Sunday's action. Dell Britt was chosen for the Wisecarver Brothers Sportsmanship Award for giving Mike Moller a gallon of fuel to make the finals in which he won! Tracy Robbins won the Best Winning Package sponsored by Performance Sealing and Striping. During round 1 of eliminations, Tracy was dialed a 5.85, had a .008 RT, & ran a 5.8505. Don Sweeting, still fighting those "New Car Blues" received the Gutters by Design Mind in the Gutter/Worst RT for his .4195 RT during R1.

On behalf CCRA, Leigh Anne Flynt, Dave & Gloria Ley, & myself Tabitha Moore Draughon, we want to THANK EACH & EVERY ONE of you for making this past weekend successful. Next up is NMCA this weekend at Rockingham Dragway for CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association vs NMCA. Then we will be at KDS Motorsports May 4th & 5th.
