Question Please

I was told at the Sac Combo by Tech and Director that Gary Evans and I would have weighed and fuel checked for a heads up second round. They should check fuel and weight if points are awarded.

Dad, Stephen, and I, all bracket raced at Union County last Saturday in the "Modified" Class. We had a fun time close to home and will do it again when the season starts back. For Dad, it is easier to pay a nurse to stay with Mom for a day (Alzheimers) than for a full weekend. I want to bracket race, because I want to race more and get better at doing it. Also, the $40 entry was much easier on the wallet. I lost to Ralph DeLoach, who recognized my "Billy Plage Racing Engines" decal, and asked if I knew Roy Caraway. Roy has been "dead on" against him at Carolina Dragway. Note, Len King "No Box Champion", Roy Caraway, Jake Sealey, and Ray Grice all in "No Box" points in their Stockers at Carolina Dragway. I love the combos too. I just want to race! I would love to be at Fayetteville this weekend, but 4 hours and have other plans.

When we ran Piedmont Dragway we had some of the best Combo's around with our end of the year race drawing 52 cars. Most class racers dont like buybacks for one. For you guys that say you wont run a race without scales or heads your stupid. You need to support a race in your area if its done. Our rule at Piedmont was you had to run a race in the past 12 months, there was one jerk on here that cussed me out because he had been in IRAQ for 2 years and would never support my race with a rule like that, well obviously that rule would be waived for this, we just had it in there to keep the local guy from jumping in there that didnt belong. Most of the NC, SC, VA stock superstock racers all know each other probably better than the NHRA racers do in other areas and we never had ONE complaint from anyone. The combo's we had at Piedmont were some of the best racers from a track operator standpoint. We ran them on Thursday night in front of 4000 people more than once. I hate the new owner wont consider running them more as they always make for a good show. just my .02
