Beard .030, out by an hour vs Rowe's .020, dead-on 1
Longhaney had the bye.

Last Fall, Brian Rowe was RU here at the Warren S/SS, but today gets it done in CCRA race #2, taking out Mike Longhaney in the finals. Rowe was #2 in the World in IHRA for 2010, driving Richie DeCola's E/FIA Camaro (BTW, it's for sale!)

With a RU and a semi, I believe the Duck Tape Turismo is leading the points.

Great turnout, great race... Two in a row! Thanks to Scott Tilley for picking up the reigns of the CCRA, and to Fayetteville for hosting us.

Final Round, Greg Rowe (far) vs Mike Longhaney (near)

(That's not tire smoke, BTW.... it was putting out a little all the way down track all day. I think she's got a pretty loose ring package in her!)

WINNAH Brian Rowe! Thanks to Bobby Murray Chevrolet for the Iron Tree trophies.

we spent the whole day testing with my car. run out of gear at the 1,000ft marker and run a 10.63@104. Car ran ok through the 1/8.

Found out that Radial tires do not like a transbreak @4400.....Blew the tires right off. I also realized I kept going in too deep. Im used to foot breaking the Stocker going in really really shallow. I was pre stage, stage, then hit the break on the 2-step and it would rock forward. Kept wonding why my 60ft were so off. Gotta get re-focused to the car and get ready for Piedmont.

Michael- just wanted to say thanks again for the killer sticker package! Really looks perfect on the car!

Was also really good to see Joe Collins racing, The Riners, the Strickland crew. Always a good time with some good friends!

it's 2 seperate cars. I drove a G/CM stocker last year, and made my personal car a SS car.
