2013 CCRA Season

[Jeffl52]

No apologies needed just both sides of the discussion voicing their opions. At the end of the story we must and will abide by our associations decision. Dont see the need for anyone to get bent out of shape for something that will continue to grow with all of our support. I for one believe this organization can grow to be big enough for people to skip IHRA or NHRA races to attend a CCRA race instead. As a sponsor myself we hope to continue our contribution throughout the growth process. You'll see atleast 3 of our cars at the first event and every event after. We'll be sure to have 3 drivers as well.LOL!! See everyone in a few weeks...

ACTUALLY, Scott did deserve Brandon's apology and Brandon admirably did. Class racing always has been and always should be the prestigous single elimination and single entry tournament. There are plenty of BRACKET races around where u can double practice since u want it! I'm not bent out of shape, there is no reason to dumb down class racing. I also believe that the original CCRA rule of only allowing cars that have passed IHRA or NHRA tech to compete to be upheld!!! I think you dad supports that. Your so called "growth" process only seems to allow people like you with 2 cars to compete with the single car people and you enjoying the advantages of double hits and double elimination. If everyone can't do that then it's an unfair advantage any way you want to slice it with your 3 car, 3 driver lol's. One thing's for sure, I won't miss any CCRA races this year. I'll be sure to be there with 1 car AND 1 driver as well....LOL!!!

No the GROWTH process I'm speaking of is the actual growth I feel we can achieve through this association. If anyone hasn't noticed we are growing, but with any growth there will be some growing pains which will be handled accordlingly. Had already stated it was just a opinion and we'll abide by the rules our leader and fellow racers. I for one love these events and in no way want to jeopardize the CCRA in any way. We've all had a bad idea or 2!!! Hope everyone is still in good spirits and are as excited as me to start another year. I'm pulling out tomorrow night for Gainesville which will be my first NHRA race and pretty excited about that as well!!

After talking with several CCRA racers, it has been determined that the majority is in favor of having a tech official at our events. Our cost to make this possible is $150.00 per race. To keep from taking money from the points fund, entry fee will be raised to $80.00. The payout will still be based on the $75.00 entry. The additional $5.00 per entry will go towards paying our tech official. At the end of the year, what is left over from the additional $5.00 per entry per event will go directly into the points fund. Example, if we have 40 cars, the additional $5.00 collected is $200.00. $150.00 goes to paying our tech director, the extra $50.00 goes into the points and to offset when we may not have the minimum of 30 cars, which is what is needed to break even of the $150.00..

In saying all of this, I would like to welcome aboard Robert Kinton as the CCRA’s Official Tech Director.

With Robert already being an IHRA Tech Official for many years, his experience and knowledge will be a great benefit to the CCRA. Robert will be overseeing any tech concerns that we racers may have, as well as, but not limited to, handling the pairings of staging when we do not have a ladder.

As we move forward with the growth of the CCRA, we want to make certain that class racing stays as pure as it was many years ago and that we take pride in knowing we are doing our best to keep it that way!!!

If you have any questions, please call, email or PM me!!!

Thank you

For the 2013 season and beyond, a tech advisory board has been established to help in the decisions of any discrepancies that may arise on or off the track. The board members are veteran class racers with the same goal of keeping the integrity of class racing alive and keeping the CCRA growing. The board members are as follows:

Doug Hobgood
Jim Reynolds
Donnie Moore,Sr.
Tracy Robbins
Scott Tilley

I would like to thank them for taking on this responsibilty.

All racers will need to see Robert Kinton for your 2013 CCRA tech sticker prior to elimination at the first race you attend. If you have been teched by the IHRA in the last 12 months you will not need to bring your race vehicle to tech. For those who have not been teched by the IHRA, you will need to bring your race vehicle to tech for Robert to look at.This should eliminate anyone trying to run that does not have a legal Stock or Super Stock race vehicle.

I would also like to thank Mark Young for all the help he has provided to me and the CCRA this 2013 season. There is alot happening in the off season to make preparation for the upcoming racing season as well as what goes into keeping the race season running smoothly.

Just as an overview, Memberships are $25.00 which puts you eligible to participate in the season points championship. Memberships must be paid prior to the start of first round for that race to count.

Entry fee is $80.00, in which $5.00 of the entry goes to pay for our tech director. Payout will still be based on the $75.00 entry fee.

All entries must see the tech director for your 2013 tech sticker prior to eliminations of the first race you attend.

The best of 6 out of 8 races will be counted for the members of the CCRA.

I believe with the changes we have made for the 2013 season, will be our best year yet!!!

Thank you racers and sponsors for all of your support!!!!
