Live from Hagerstown Maryland S/SS races

[Mike Carr]

Back at the hotel. Great weekend for sure. Chris Kilraine won the big money today over Danny Henderson. Semi's were Tom Losket and Brad Huntzberry. Chris and Dan EACH took home more money than the cash purse pays to the WINNER at the NHRA U.S. Nationals at Indy. Sixty-four cars on the grounds today, fifty-seven made first round. Thanks to EVERYONE for an awesome weekend. I think we equaled the all-time record car count of 72 total S/SS cars for the weekend that was set two years ago (and only five were Nostalgia/SS). We look forward to next years Association races (and Elmer has said we'll return next year to Hagerstown for my twentieth straight year doing this event.

Thank you again to everyone who came out this weekend, for one or both days. We'll do it again at H-town next year (along with our races at Quaker City and Pittsburgh).

Anyone within a 3 or 4 hr. tow of Hagerstown should of have been at this race.The weather was great, and we had a fantastic time as always....although Holgar,Kathy and Charlie kept us up to 1:30 am on Sat.(Martinis were involved) The track personnel were all great and the starting line was second to none. All the colorful(?) people were there...Lew Silverman, Billy Nees, Dan Fahey, Chuck Weber and his crew, just to name a few. Thanks again to Mike Carr and his family for making the effort to make this race happen...Good Job Guys.


Thanks again.......Terry and Barbara

Another one in the books!

Thank you, Mike, for all your hard work every year putting this show together! I'm already planning on being there in 2014!

Here's a link to the photo's taken by B&B Photography this weekend, in case you missed him at the track!

I hope everyone has a safe "off-season"! See you next time!

Can someone post a final qualifying for Stock/Super Stock?

[Mike Carr]

Jim, we don't have qualifying in our Association races, since 2 of the 3 tracks we race at do not have scales, none have fuel check equipment or qualified tech officials. Since 1996, I have done over sixty S/SS races at ten tracks in four states. Only three of the tracks have had scales, none have any of the other stuff needed to have true qualifying.

I will have full round-by-round results from each day's race posted sometime soon today.

[Mike Carr]

We had seventy-one total cars for the weekend. Just missing the record we set in 2011 (72). Sixty-four on the property for Sunday alone, and 57 raced, also just below the record of a Sunday turnout (66 showed, 63 raced also set two years ago).

Saturday race, forty-one made first round (fifty-four were on the property, some just made testing runs, and/or waiting for the Sunday race).

Thanks to all who came out, I tried to get around to see everyone during the weekend and still missed a few. We'll do it again next year the first weekend in November at Hagerstown. See you all next year!
