I'll try to give a brief synopsis. Again thanks to CW for helping round up some great sponsors. BIG thanks go to the Blankenships for giving us a place to race, and letting us do whatever we wanted!! Even BIGGER thanks go to all the racers that make the haul to support this event.
Especially Mr. Bill Brooks, Mr. John Rains, and Mr. Stephen Hebert. Brooks is from FL, Rains from CA!!!!!, and Hebert is from LA. Talk about dedication!! EDIT: The Hards are from eastern PA, so they get a long haul award, too! And I know Bucky's ride is no easy trip, either....
There were 12 cars in the TNT Sat. morning. Don Bales and Jeff Kobylski had engine problems and were done before qualifying.
Final qualifying was
1.) CWJ
2.) CWS
3.) Hebert (A-BEAR)
4.) Rains
5.) Bucky
6.) Hard (ex-woo Cuda)
7.) Marvel
8.) Keyes
9.) Turk
10.) Brooks

Brooks hurt a trans, and marvel had engine issues, so they both missed elims.

CWJ over Hard
CWS bye over Marvel
Hebert over red Keyes
Rains over Turk
Bucky bye over Brooks, but Bucky broke trans on the line on his single.

2nd round was

CWJ competition bye
Hebert bye over Bucky
CWS over Rains
CWJ broke a trans on his bye, and Hebert told him take all the time he needed to take care of it.

Semis were
CWJ over Hebert Red. Hebert blasted to a 8.57 @ 153.65 (pretty sure that was 2nd lowest ET to CWJ 8.56 in qualifying.)
CWS competition bye

Finals

CWS over Junior. Got crossed up and came across the lanes and tagged the wall.

Charlie, we are all happy you are ok. I was thinking to myself right before the final how it always cool you and your dad run it all the way out whenever you race. There are no gimmies when it comes to family:) Just glad to see you're ok, and cars can be fixed!!

We had a blast and it was such a fun event. We WILL have another one for the CC event @ Norwalk, and are looking to get something together for the entire CC series in 2010.
