CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Racer Spotlight:

This week we are heading to Sanford, NC; home of Gerald & Sammy Thomas. Gerald is the driving & this duo has been racing for 56 years. His Stock Eliminator 1991 Chevy S-10 known as "Six Pack" is powered by a 4.3L V6 engine built by Mr. Gerald himself. His sponsors include Reliable Plumbing & Kelly Mobil. Their most memorable win was in Norwalk, OH. They both agree that one of their accomplishments is getting a S-10 to run in Stock Eliminator. They would like to give "Special Thanks" to Mitch Edmonds, Kelly Mobil, Reliable Plumbing, & Thomas Way. The most epic fail that they recall is a wreck at Piedmont Dragway. Also pictured is another car that they race, a Chevy Vega, which is in the Winner's Circle at Piedmont Dragway. They weren't able to compete at all of the CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association races in 2021 due to some unforeseen circumstances & was hoping to start 2022 off much better, but unfortunately that hasn't been the case. Mr. Sammy was recently in the hospital with some medical issues & is now home recovering. We had hoped to have them back with us but as of yesterday, the truck has been posted "For Sale". Anyone interested can contact Mr. Sammy Thomas at 919-499-7359 for more information.

The Thomas's were always a fun crowd to be around & they always made the best of being at the track. They are both missed dearly & we hope to see them soon.

CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association is back in action for a Triple header next weekend, July 16th & 17th at Farmington Dragway. We will be running 2 races on Saturday & 1 on Sunday. Hope to see everyone there.
