Don't blame you

I'm about 4 hours away. I'm interested in the Carolina Class Racer Association and the details, but would not make a drive either until it is confirmed.

Ok guys sorry about not being online but I havent had internet at my house since last week. I had something come up Saturday I cant get out of. I have tried over and over to get out of it and just cant. I can do it in 2 weeks on January 24th at lunch. I'm sorry about this and I want this deal to work. We have Piedmont committed for 4 races as well as Roxboro for 4. I feel the racers should have a vote in the other 3 races and how they are done. I have spoken with Tracy at lenghth and we are on the same page about 99% of the stuff that is going on but we feel everyone should be a part of it. Again I'm very sorry about this and if anyone would like to email me I dont have my piedmont email anymore.

8-11 races sounds really good. What other tracks are possibilities? Pageland Dragway is very welcoming to S/SS racers. Easy to get to from Piedmont, too (I ran at Piedmont and Pageland both in the same day before!) I can talk to the owner if y'all want. I'd love to race at Fayetteville, too... amazingly, I haven't had a chance to race there yet!

Micheal, I think right now the only two tracks having CCRA points events are Piedmont and Roxboro. The other three races Herb is referring to are divisional saturday night combo's. These are just to accumulate points, there should be no CCRA entry fees at the divisionals. I am sure Herb and Tracey want to take 2009 to try to grow the series and keep it economical for all (travel wise) before adding more tracks. The S/SS classes at both tracks were pretty strong the past few years they think combining the two programs will benefit everyone.

Michael Beard · 01-07-2009, 10:21 PM

Oh, that's right. Herb did tell me about that awhile back, just forgot. I think that's a great idea to make the Saturday night combos at some Pro-Ams eligible for CCRA points. Gives us an extra incentive to get into those races, and allows a lot more people to participate by getting some points claims in.

$.02,

Cliff is Dead on w/ a Zero! What we do not want is another divisional schedule to run, just a points fund and Saturday night races at a couple of tracks.

Any new news on the meeting? Are we still having a meeting on January 24 at the Cutting Board in Burlington? Hey Herb, do we have a room reserved? I'm getting a lot of questions from fellow racers.
