CCCA drag racing....

....after not running in '08 I kinda REALLY got the itch. I was a "wuss" and didn't want to run without further tuning to help to prevent having a "catholic" block, you know, holy.....

Now that the Wizard with his infinite wisdom in massaging the 'puter in the truck has worked his magic on the blue one I'm a ready to attack the track.

CCCA has a racing series that runs both PR and Bremerton. There is a Ford Drag Team to sign up with as we didn't do well in trying to create our own Lightning team last year.

First 3 race dates are at Bremerton in April. One thing that might bother some is no slicks, only DOT legal tires which means drag radials.

Here's their website so's you can explore and get most questions answered.

Car Club Challenge Association - CCCA

Any interest in competing ?

Here's their schedule.....

I think I might actually have my junk runnin this year. Early on it won't have the big blower on it but it would be fun to see how fast it will go with a ported Eaton. If I can get a legal 11.50 out of it with cats and all that would be fun.

John....you are sooooo predictable. I knew you would be he first to respond to this.....I had an egg timer on ya.



I will run fairly soon....provided I don't fall on my *** again or something fun like that.

PS....I even had S.Glide working on it on monday.....well for a minute anyway. I have been waiting almost 3 months to check and see if the rear ride height is where I want it and Monday I finally found out....Thanks Steve

Me and Debbie would like to be apart of this if you can get enough people to commit.

I'm down...not sure how many PR races I'll make since I dislike the place, but Bremerton is marked on my calender.

Yeah, you wont see me at PR, those guys are bandits without a mask
I still feel violated and it has been a year.
I'm up for BR though anytime.

Hey Skritch, I am in the same boat as you were, I pegged my meter at 5000rpm last night (37* and a baro well into 30.) It was definately a Siberian high that even the delval guys would of wondered at. Truck felt really crisp, thats why yours has a winter tune Scott, dont compare yours to the Jones'. Flog the hell out of her, it dont matter what the weather is.

I had heard that PR is under new management this year so, hopefully things will change.

Mike if it is different folks this year then maybe willing to give them a try, I will email them and see how they feel about what happened to our club last year to make sure it doesnt happen again.

It would be cool to go to Bremerton on the 25th and stay for the WashLo Bash.

Gen 1's: for those of you interested in participating in this event, but do not have DOT approved slicks/drag radials; I'm thinking of getting rid of my MT ET Street slick/rim combo .
