Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
I've read everyone's comments and I have had a lot of personal messages. Most would rather finish the season next year.
The last 2 races for 2013 will be run at Fayetteville Motorsports Park, March 8th & 9th. Fayetteville was chosen due to its location being further south. Hopefully it will be warmer. Also, the NHRA national at Gainesville is the next weekend and we may be able to draw some racers who may go down early. 2013, as far as the weather for racing went, was a difficult year. Hopefully 2014 will be much better. I have already begun getting a schedule together for 2014. I'm looking at running 2 races at 4 different tracks, Piedmont Dragway, Fayetteville Motorsports Park, VMP and Galot Motorsports Park(formerly Dunn-Benson). Any input you have on the 2014 season will be appreciated!!!! Thanks to all of our sponsors, members and racers for supporting the CCRA!!! Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!

Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
I hate being this guy but I'm passionate about racing and the future of the CCRA. I'm also vocal and believe in speaking up for what u think is right and it just seems from the past and present that we should give up on voting and our opinions in regards to the decisions made. Seems like the private messages and conversations always prevail. Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!!!

Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
The CCRA is made up of 45 members, 8 event sponsors, a trophy sponsor, a special programs sponsor and many more non member racers that support OUR association.
It would not be fair to ALL of our members and sponsors for the points championship to be decided with one race when there is suppose to be two races that sponsors have paid for. I have tried my best to get the last two races in. The weather just hasn't cooperated. I've also tried to do the best I can for the whole association, not just a few. Anyone wanting to go to Fayetteville and we have a non CCRA gamblers race, I'm in. I was going whether we raced or not. I have some testing I need to do. I wish for everyone to have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! Thanks Scott Tilley |

Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
You made the right call Scott. AND AGAIN we have the same 2 whiners bitching. At least Jeff is a sponsor, so i'll give him a pass. If Brandon ever wants to put some in the "kitty" for a race sponsorship, then OK bitch away. Until then NOT! When a sponsor pays for an event, they should receive said event. As I said earlier, with all the rain I was ok having 2 events on the same day, Not 1 event that 2 separate sponsors paid for 2 separate races. That's not good business if you want other sponsors to come in. just saying ! AND with the championship on the line this was the only fair move. I'

Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
I hate when these posts start sounding like round track racing and everybody downs each other. Let's remember what drag racing is it is a very passionate very competitive family sport that we all love and enjoy which can get emotions stirred up time to time. That being said one thing I did like about the post was a gamblers race on Sunday if enough people see this post maybe we can get 12 or 16 cars for a little race to cure the itch. I'm sure i can talk at least one brother In joining me. if we're serious about it let's put it on Facebook as well and see what happens

Re: Races 7& 8 will be run March 8 & 9
I would consider going to F'ville for a gambler's race tomorrow. I was wondering why I couldn't stop scratching this past month ! Let's cure the itch ! Any others ?
