Mother Nature played a cruel trick on the racers at the Red Line Oil PDRA Carolina Nationals presented by KTR Racing. 90 degrees on Friday, 50 degrees on Saturday. The cold temps and lots of downtime forced the decision to postpone eliminations after round two. Winners will be determined at the next race on the schedule at Darana Dragway – Benson in April.
