    We have decided to stick with the earlier gate opening as listed on the flier and start time trials at 2:00 PM since the forecast is for slightly cooler weather.

    Leland Poppell outlasted Ben Chancellor Saturday for the CSR S/ST win by breaking out the least in the final round.  Roger and Don Popham were keeping it all in the family as they met in the final round of the JJ Spec 15-second race with Roger breaking out by the least amount to take the win. The JJ Spec King of the Single Cams Challenge win went to Greg Carter, driving a '88 Civic over Jimmy Jones, also driving a Civic.

    Details of the final rounds are posted on the "Winners" page and points are updated.

"Hillbilly" won the J. Barker Chevrolet ET Series race one year ago, too, on June 21, 2008.

    The ninth race of the Jerry Barker Chevrolet ET Series is in the record book.   James Cuddington ran for the "Dial-In-for-Dollars" and ran a few thousandths too fast, so the pot rolls over.  It should be nearly $600 in two weeks for our next bracket racing event on July 4.

    Saturday's first winner was Katie Touchton, who won the Junior Dragster race for age 8-12, when Dillan Kyle committed a foul start.  Parker Suggs lost to Chase Prince in the age 13-17 final for Juniors.  The Junior Consolation race has come down to Allison McKneely and Will Castleberry with Will taking the win.

    Kathy Sellers won the Sportsman Eliminator by forcing Sam Adams to break out in the final round.  Andy Castleberry lost a close race to Jamie Hairrington in the Pro ET final.  The Super Pro final was won by Donnie Attaway when Keith Comer fouled in the final round.  Final round details are on the "Winners" page and new points are posted on the "Points" page.  Complete points will be posted in the souvenir building.

RICK KNIGHT - Dublin, GA

Our mission at Silver Dollar Raceway is to provide a top-quality environment for racers and fans alike to enjoy.  Silver Dollar Raceway is a facility designed and built by racers, for racers and fans!

Silver Dollar Raceway is a regional-quality NHRA quarter-mile drag strip located in Reynolds, Georgia, about twenty-five miles west of Warner Robins, Georgia, and ninety miles south of Atlanta. The track is located on one hundred sixty-eight acres of land and is built to the latest standards of construction for professional quality drag racing. The racing surface is a full sixty-foot width, bounded by a concrete barrier wall to insure spectator and participant safety. The shutdown area is three thousand feet to insure adequate stopping room for the fastest quarter-mile passes. Times are measured by a Compulink StarTrak, the same system used by the National Hot Rod Association at all NHRA Powerade Drag Racing Series events.
