Some people are getting out and racing when and where they can. This past weekend, Coastal Plains Dragway in Jacksonville, NC hosted the first Carolina Bracket Series 2-day event. There were a few Stockers who came out to play... $100 weekend entry for two $3K/win races. The bracket guys knew we were there. Marshburn sat on the bye 2nd or 3rd round on Saturday, DW was running 7.68's like they were going out of style (and you know he was having fun... I saw a few old-school dry hops! LOL). I double-entered the Turismo. Saturday, went 3rd round on one entry and 1/4-finals on the other, Sunday, 4th rnd and quarters again. DW and I got to wander over to the circle track side and take in a little action Saturday night, too.
