Shewww 😴😴😴, it's been one heck of a season but it all came to an end this past weekend at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway. Mother Nature hasn't been our best friend this year but this past weekend, she gave us perfect racing weather & we took advantage of it.

We started out the morning on Saturday with our normal time run & then into our Warren Engines sponsored Dash for Cash. Dan Fletcher was the first one to cash in on sponsor bonuses for his 6.150 on his 6.15 dial. He collected himself a crisp $100.00 bill. There were a total of 8 dead on runs & he obviously came out on top. We had 45 cars make the first round call. This was a phenomenal turnout for our last race of the year so THANK YOU racers for your support!!! After 1st round was complete, we made another visit to The Fletcher pit area but this time it was for Timbo. He was awarded the Victory Lane Golf Carts 1st Round Best Losing Package & also received an additional $200.00 from Mr. Barry Parker for this loss. Yes, he did receive $250.00 for his 1st round loss 😉. Unfortunately Timbo thought he was putting up a decent run when he was .030 on the tree & ran a 7.058 at 84.93 mph on his 7.02 dial but he stood no chance to his opponent's .007 package. Scott Tilley had some electrical issues plaque him in 2nd round which resulted in his loss but he didn't walk away empty handed. He received a 5 gallon pail of Renegade Race Fuels & Lubricants/ Ford's Fuel and Propane PRO 112+. Scott was dialed a 7.19, had a .118 RT & ran a 7.196 at 93.52 mph. Our lone semi-finalist went to "The Whomp Master" Brent Pozzi. Brent met up with Hillarey Marshall in the staging lanes & there were a few mind games played where Brent fell victim to Hillarey during their run. Brent is in search for "someone" to help check his air pressure while Scott Marshall is looking for his hair brush. In the finals, we have a repeat match-up on our September 9th race, also at Coastal Plains Raceway Park Dragway, which ended with the same results as that race. Hillarey lined up against Mr. Phil Hilling. The race was over at the hit as Phil went .030 red & ran a 6.157 at 107.71 mph on his 6.19 dial. Hillarey had a .063 RT, ran a 7.160 on her 6.23 dial as she saw Phil's red light. HIllarey received her 2nd CCRA-Carolina Class Racers Association Eagle trophy for the 2023 season as well as a trailer check sponsored by Mj Custom Printing & Graphics, a $300.00 gift certificate to QA1, & a $100.00 gift certificate to ATI Performance Products. Phil received a smaller Mj Custom Printing & Graphics trailer check, $100.00 gift certificate from Altronics Inc, $50.00 gift certificate from Meziere Enterprises, $50.00 gift certificate from ATI Performance Products as well as the "passed down 2nd Place Ain't ****" bowling trophy. You had to be there to understand but I think we've started a new tradition. Points leader Kevin Locklear received the Auto Plus Service Center Paul Bunyan (Best RT) Award for his .000 RT in round 3 of eliminations as well as the Wayside Landscapes & Supply Bounty Hunter Award to taking out Sunday's Darlington Dragway winner, Curt Smith Jr during round #2. Randy Chew & Ed McLawhorn each received a Hard Luck Award courtesy of McLawhorn Racing as both were unable to make first round call due to parts breakage. Korey Alexander received the Butner Construction Sportsmanship Award for his help changing torque converters on Homer Carty's Chevy II. The Zamp Racing Best Winning Package of the race came from Round 1 where Dell Britt was .007 on the tree & ran dead 0 on his 6.93 dial. Billy Plage received the Gutters by Design MInd in the Gutter/Worst RT for his .233 RT during round 1. We also had our Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving meal on Saturday following Dash for Cash & all I can say is WOW. The amount of food that was there for the taking was unbelievable. Hope everything enjoyed it & left with their bellies full.
