Back-to-Back Truck Pull Saturday January 3, 2009

Pageland Dragway will host a Back-to-Back Truck pull Saturday January 3. The pulling surface will be prepared the same way as a drag race event with traction compound and fresh rubber. If you think you've got the meanest truck around then come prove it. Defending champion Paul Helms says "bring 'em on and let's see what ya got".
 

There will be different weight classes for all trucks and trucks will be allowed to add weight to pull in more than one class. There will be a individual class for dual rear wheel vehicles. All classes *EXCEPT* the Outlaw Class will have to have DOT tires. The only class that can pull with slicks is Outlaw. Hitch height will be 24".

***There will be time after eliminations for grudge pulls and a gambles pull for cash prizes.***

This event will be held regardless of temperature. The only reason for cancellation will be rain or snow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gates open @ 11:00
Pulling @ 12:00
Track Closes @ Sundown

With drag racing needing a feeder class to spark new interest at an early age we've decided to bring the IHRA Teen Championship Racing "TCR" class to Pageland Dragway for this season. We're still working on the final draft of the class and will keep everyone posted. We'll probably call it High School Challenge "HSC". Doug and I have presented the program to a magnet school here in Monroe that has a motorsports curriculum and they're eager to get started.

Teen Championship Racing (TCR) allows teenagers 13 to 18 years old to compete against each other in street legal cars and trucks. The TCR program is an inexpensive way for families to get involved in drag racing and offers a chance for parents to cultivate a close working relationship with their children.

• A Co-Driver will accompany the TCR competitor on all runs to coach the driver and to join in the fun.

• TCR participants receive an IHRA Competition License, IHRA Rule Book (optional), a one-year subscription to Drag Review magazine (optional), and medical coverage.

• All races are conducted over a distance of 1/8th mile with an ET dial-in format. Cars are limited to 10.00 seconds and slower. TCR drivers may not compete in any other class except Jr. Dragster.

CO-DRIVER: The co-driver must be the driver’s parent, legal guardian, or adult 25 years of age or older, with a valid state driver’s license. The co-driver must be seated in the passenger seat of the vehicle any time the driver is in the driver’s seat. The co-driver must drive the vehicle in the pits, into the staging lanes, and on the return road beyond the time slip booth.

DRIVER: Ages 13 to 18 (or until they have achieved a State driver’s license) may be licensed to compete in TCR. All runs must be made with an approved co-driver. A photocopy of every competitor’s birth certificate, a signed Parent/Guardian Minor Release Form and fee must accompany all license applications.

LICENSE: All TCR competitors will be licensed by an IHRA Track Official. The licensing procedure includes vehicle orientation, a basic driving test, and a minimum of six licensing runs. An Official or Co-Driver must be in the vehicle at all times.

To satisfy vehicle orientation requirements, the licensee must demonstrate familiarity with all of the vehicle’s primary controls such as pedals, steering, shifter, lights, etc. Drivers must perform this orientation test for each vehicle entered in competition.

Licensee must complete a basic driving test, demonstrating the ability to start the engine, select gears, turn and brake to a stop proficiently.

The Official will make one run with the licensee as a passenger. This will allow the official to determine the safety and eligibility of the vehicle to run over the elapsed time limit, and orient the licensee to track fixtures, starting line, timing system, return road, time-slip booth, etc. The licensee must make a minimum of three (3) approved runs with the official as the co-driver. The licensee must then make a minimum of three (3) approved runs with the assigned co-driver and witnessed by the track official. If the driver passes the test, the track official and co-driver must sign the driver’s license. Officials must deny a license to any driver they feel cannot handle the vehicle.

The driver may only drive the vehicle from the staging lanes, on the track, and on the return road as far as the time slip booth. The co-driver must drive the vehicle at all other times.

VEHICLE: Must be a full-bodied car, truck, van, or SUV. Convertibles, Jeeps, motorcycles, modified vehicles and/or specific-built race cars prohibited. The vehicle must pass IHRA and state safety regulations. The vehicle must be licensed and equipped with mufflers, DOT street tires and seat belts. Electronics prohibited. Seat belts usage is mandatory for the driver and co-driver.

Kendall Funderburk Memorial Shootout Winner Wayne Hawkins

Wayne Hawkins and family

On a beautiful Carolina Fall day, Top Sportsman racer Wayne Hawkins from Rock Hill, SC had his sights set on one thing and that was to win the inaugural Kendall Funderburk 10K Fall Shootout presented by M&M Motorsports. The only thing standing in his way was the other 125-plus entries who were on the same mission. With the big block Chevrolet powered first generation  Camaro dialed on a 4.82 he began the quest for the winners circle. As the moon was rising in the East it came down to Marty Nicholson from Ruby, SC piloting his big block powered 3rd generation Camaro, and Wayne Hawkins in the rocket ship 1st generation Camaro. As the tree fell Marty came up just a little short as the red-light start ended his day with a runner-up finish. Congratulations to both of these racers who helped put on a great show for the fans. 

Marty Nicholson R/U

On behalf of M&M Motorsports and Pageland Dragway we want to thank everyone for making this event such a huge success. I hope you'll make your plans to join us next year for the 2nd Annual Kendall Funderburk Memorial 10K Fall Shootout.

14) Thank you for coming to our fall shootout. Hope you all have a fun filled safe day and we would like to invite you back anytime.

Do not bring grievances to the tower. If you feel something happened to you during the staging process or your run that may have caused you to lose go directly to the starter Tim Barbee. He is one of a three (3) man committee consisting of the afore mentioned starter, one (1) racer Mr. Buddy Plyler and one (1) track owner Mr. Tim Helms. These three (3) alone will take consideration of all the facts and make a final decision in fairness to all. If they rule a racer out then the racer is out.

We have worked extremely hard putting together a big money bracket race at an affordable price. So please support our effort and make sure you look over the sponsor list in your packet whom without, this race would not be possible. If you ever have need of their services please call them.

May the Lord bless you.
