Re: CCRA Race #7 & #8 Farmington Dragway
Sunday brought sunny skies & warmer temperatures. Avery McLawhorn after having a transmission issues on Saturday, picked up the first money envelope of the day collecting the Warren Engines Dash for Cash. He was dialed a 6.96 & ran a 6.9603 at 96.28 mph. 30 cars made the 1st round call for eliminations. Kevin Wideman finally had a CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association appearance this weekend but things didn't go his way during R1. He picked up the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package. He had a .0334 RT, ran a 6.2033 at 107.50 mph on his 6.18 dial. Renegade Racing Fuel-Ford?s Fuel South East Master Distributor/ Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants 2nd Round Best Losing Package went to Mr. Dallas Locklear. He was dialed a 6.37, had a .0583 RT, & ran a 6.4047 at 105.58 mph. He got himself a 5 gallon pail of Renegade PRO 112+ racing fuel. The semi-finalists for Sunday's race was Blake Hickman & Kevin Locklear. Sadly, rain ultimately won the race but the 2nd finalists was Charlie Wisecarver & Kelsey Alexander. Both drivers agreed to split the purse & flip a coin to declare winner (video attached of coin flip). Wisecarver was the Sunday race winner. He picked up another trailer check courtesy of MJ's Custom Printing & Graphics, the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Eagle trophy, as well as a handful of contingency gift certicates; $250.00 to Hippie Headers, $100.00 to ATI Performance Products, a certificate for a set of E3 Spark Plugs, Portatree Timing Systems 15% off coupon, a 5 gallon pail of Fuel Factory F12 racing fuel $50.00 Meziere Enterprises, $100.00 Altronics Inc gift certificate, $100.00 Edelbrock Performance, & a $100.00 COMP Cams gift certificate. Kelsey got a smaller version trailer check (but still bigger than Korey's last trailer check), $150.00 gift certificate to Hippie Headers, $50.00 ATI Performance Products gift certificate, F8 fuel from Fuel Factory, 50% off one item coupon from Zamp Racing, $50.00 gift certificate from COMP Cams, & a $50.00 gift certificate from Edelbrock Performance. Alexander also picked up the Charlene's Tax Service Best Winning Package from her round 3 win. She had a .0049 RT, ran a 7.2738 on his 7.27 dial. The Paul Bunyan "Best Reaction Time" sponsored by Dunn Logging Company went to Howie Adams for his .0004 RT in R1. Keith Alexander is undergoing cancer treatment & this round of treatment is being somewhat tough on his body. He woke up Sunday morning not feeling well enough to race. He was given the McLawhorn Racing Hard Luck award. Keith is going to kick cancer's a** & we are all here in his corner!! Raymond Roland took out the Saturday race winner, Greg Viscome, & was awarded the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter award. Stacie Ridings was awarded The Wisecarver Brothers Racing Sportsmanship award. Stacie had loaned out her 1st race car to fellow racer, Raymond Roland, & sadly he took her out in R2 of Sunday's eliminations. Jennifer Hinson, sharing the driver's seat this year with sister Jessica Lail, competing in her 1st CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association race ever lost in R1 of eliminations having a .1362 RT but didn't leave empty handed as she was awarded the Gutters by Design/Worst RT award. Raymond Roland's tech card was pulled randomly on Sunday morning to receive the Act of Giving Back $35.00 Visa gift card given by Half Moon.
We will start our 2nd half of the season in October at Darlington Dragway where we will also be running our Sunday event from the GALOT Motorsports Park race. There is several races in between that our racers will be participating in & we want to wish them all good luck in those races. We look forward to seeing everyone in October at Darlington Dragway where we hope we can have fall type weather.
