NEXT RACE:

Union County canceled due to weather.

Coastal Plains Dragway

Saturday, October 17th

We were at Wilkesboro Dragway on October 3rd and it was even better than on the Farm. They probably had one of the largest crowds for the CGJ race. We started out with 51 cars but only 49 made it to first round. For the full report, go here.

Winner: Donnie Benfield

Runner-up: Ronnie Skinner

Second chance winner: Jeff Brockman

Second chance runner-up: Josh Barczy

We were at Farmington on September 25th and the weather couldn't have been more beautiful. The air was made for fast passes all day. We had 55 CGJ's at Farmington! The race was good even with a few track prep issues. The hard pounding gear jamming cars are pretty rough on a starting line. Check out the full report here.

Winner: Mike "Good ol Charlie Brown" Boyles

Runner-up: Jeff Smith Jr.

Second chance winner: Jeff Smith

Second chance runner-up: Gary Laviner

We had 45 cars at Roxboro Motorsports Dragway. We had 4 racers dead on their dial in for Dash for Cash, going to the ten thousands for the tie breaker of a .0001 vs .0000! We haven't had to do that in a while. For pics and details, check out the FB post.

Winner: Marty Smith

Runner-up: Robby Draughon

Second chance Winner: Tom Talmon

Second chance runner-up: Scott Cox

2019 Points Champion

Let's meet your 2019 Classic Gear Jammers Champion and get the details of his sweet ride. Jeff Smith finished second in the Classic Gear Jammers 2018 season, but said that wasn't going to work next year. You can't miss his beautiful black 1963 Corvette, running a 427 BBC with a single carburetor, Jerico Performance Products DR4 4 speed with a Long Shifter, 9" Ford axle on a 4 link with 5.67 gears. His personal best ET is 5.92 at 117 mph. Jeff is a long time supporter and has been racing with CGJ since 1993, before that he played semi-pro baseball for 16 years. Jeff's previous car was a red '67 corvette named "Corvette Express". Great Job Jeff, way to go!
