Curly, I used the wrong wording with the "bunch of crybabies"! The crybabies while a good amount, they were the minority & always seem to bring bad light to a good event. The classes all had a good showing & they took the top 16 qualifiers for each class.

On a separate note: I don't believe in driver's meetings & especially every day before running/racing. The rules & race procedures were well advertised. Plus given in each racer's registration package. This is where most of the above took place.

Here's our last race of the year, always a good time!

Looks like my hopes for running the NHRA D2 event at Rockingham next weekend are done. 4 races scheduled that weekend, which could have gotten me 4 grade points for going into next season. Kinda bummed about that, but hell, at least I got back out racing again this year. That's a big win for me. Spoke with my engine guy. Engine is apparently ready to be assembled. Waiting on head gaskets. Cometic says they're about 2-3 weeks out. None on the shelf. Maybe I'll try to find someone who'll let me rent a ride? There is an option to run a larger bore set of 454 gaskets, but I'd rather have it right, so I don't have to open it back up when the correct ones come in. Not to mention the cost of buying one set that'll work and one set that's correct for my engine. I had 4 events left before hurting engine, now it looks like I have one left I'll get to. Thanksgiving race with CCRA at Coastal Plains. Up until 15 or so years ago, the Thanksgiving race was their biggest event of the year. They'd have the pro mods and such out for many years. Once they got too fast for the shutdown area, that ended. CCRA picked up the slack when that happened and has done a great job of keeping the Thanksgiving tradition going.
