Last nights Iron Man race had a good turnout of cars and spectators for a saturday race. Alot of racers commented and said the track was working real good. Congratulations to all the winners of the Iron Man trophies. A few Top Dragsters were in the house making shakedown passes in preparation for todays showdown. Brian Pennington from Kentucky cranked out a 3.86 @179mph in the right lane. We have about 5 more dragsters arriving today along with the 4.70 doorslammers. It's going to be an exciting show. Gates open @ 3 and admission is only $10 for woman and $15 for men. Hope to see you there!

Plenty tracks gives females a discount. Darlington charges females $1, Carolina used to give discount also but im not sure if they still do. Alot of women arent into racing like us men but they come anyway "just" to show support. When I bring my fiance to the track if im not going down the track shes not paying much if any attention to whats going on as far as racing goes. Alot of tracks does this also because not every guy comes to the track to race or even see a race, alot of em come for the women. More women = More men and and more men and women = More $$$$. Thats not just at the track thats everywhere. Marketing Strategies work.

Make the track a place where women feel comfortable and they'll gladly pay full price to come support their men.

Edit: Anyhow I shouldn't have said anything. End Rant.

Who won last night??That black mustang put me out.

Darryl Buckner · 07-03-2011, 06:11 PM

I got runner up in no box with marks black mustang. Had the better reaction in the final and ran out of gas. Just wasnt meant to be,I guess. My lights stayed between .507 to .528 except the final round it was .543. Still had a blast. That was a double points race so I am curious to see where I am at in the points.

Darryl Buckner · 07-03-2011, 06:12 PM

The guy that won in no box was the white 65 or so mustang.Robert won the pro class.

Good job, even had to borrow someone's slicks after the semi's because he ran over something when backing into his pits.ky-dd 237.jpg

I would like to Apologize for the comment I made about the track not working, I should have just kept it to myself and not bashed dorchester. Dorchester has been around for along time and I have been going there since I was in diapers, the thing is we should all try to support dorchester dragway as much as we can. Would love to see the track work every well and I see that there trying, And its hard to make everyone happy, we dont need another track closing down!!! I wish dorchester the best of luck, And want to thank yall for giving us a place to race, I enjoy coming out there on sundays, running point, representing yall at the World Bracket Finals,

Thanks
Marcus Cox

how did he get his mph from the right lane? i made two passes one at 22mph and the other at 30 mph per my tickets.

LDELEE · 07-03-2011, 01:46 PM

I really had to consider should I respond to this post or not, but here goes. A 3.85 pass will equate to speeds around that time. These top dragsters have ran these times and speeds before and even quicker at Dorchester. This is the first time someone mentioned there mph was off yesterday. I was up in the tower when you made your passes and did not notice any incorrect mph. If you could give me your car # I possibly can pull the log sheet back up and see what your mph was. That way we can verify that a problem did exsist and address it. Thnx, in advance.

In honor of our millitary personnel, we are letting all millitary members in for $5until 8. Just show your millitary I.D. It's just a token of our thanks for the support and sacrificies you do for this country.
