The idea is to provide a racing venue for people who want drag racing to be an enjoyable activity. The format is team bracket racing with points kept for each racer and for the team he/she represents. Cost is a one time fee of $5. for the entire year. Racers must pay the usual track entry fee each race, but the CCC racers are in the lowest entry fee category. Be sure to tell those in the ticket booth you are racing in the "Car Club Challenge". You will need to use street legal tires (drag radials are legal), mufflers, and have current license tabs.

If you are a first time racer, we can help you through the process and give a few pointers on racing and racing etiquette. We may be able to give you some advice on making your Ford run a little better too. The Ford Drag Team usually parks together, eats together, and shares racing stories during the competition. This FDT Team has been CC Champion for the last two years running.

Officers of the CCCA are all elected volunteers, and winners of each competition receive trophies. Any questions?

Meeting attendance was not the issue. We wanted Saturdays, but PR dictates more than negotiates.

I'm looking to get involved this year if it works well with my schedule. Unfortunately I usually play soccer on Friday nights, so I may be limited to bremerton only races.

We appreciate the thought, but on that coming date your life will undergo a change that is so drastic it cannot be overstated. Good luck!

67 effie, I see you use a Fidanza aluminum flywheel. How do you like it. I just installed one in my 65' and love it.

Soccer is much harder work than drag racing. Hope to see you at the track. It really is a very enjoyable time.

Kent, It is awesome!!! What a difference it made. I ran my 14.99 last year with the new flywheel against Bob in his Shelby. I really noticed a difference it how quick the motor revs and the 0-60 times.

I just switched from an automatic to a 5-speed, and it revs quicker than the engine did with a torque converter. I didn't expect that, but was pleased. Can't wait until racing season begins, to see what E.T. improvements it makes.

What was your best E.T. before you switched to Fidanza?

Well, depending on what the Military does with me this year I plan on being at all the races with the exception of the first one or two. I will be attending my Basic Non-Commisioned Officers Course (BNCOC) in San Antonio Texas from the begining of April to the begining of May. I am currently preping my car for a (cross my fingers) high 12 sec run next year. Which is a large improvement over last years 14.42 best.

Congrats 67effie on the upcoming birth of your child. My wife and I are expecting our new born boy on the 23rd of February. Good luck to you!!

My best run before the Fidanza was 15.4 so it made a big difference in my E.T. but I also did an off road H-pipe at the same time so I am sure that helped out too.

Thanks Bro (Billh) for the slow remark. See how I get treated by my own blood. ........ Well I probably deserve it

89 thanks and wish you and your wife the best with your new addition also. Hope to see you at the track sometime.
