After last weeks problems and C4 and C3 getting barred from Carolina Speedway C4 was on a mission for back to back wins. C4 made the trip to Hammerdown Speedway in Red Springs to race his Super Street car for the second week in a row and with that being said he was there to win.

C4 qualified second only a tenth off the pole speed but when the green flag flew on the twenty-five lap feature C4 was in position for another good finish. In the first half C4 slipped back to third and waited for the right time to pass. The second place car helped C4 when he got loose out of four and spun in front of him to cause a caution with less than ten laps to go.

After that, the teen driver focused on the lead and nothing else. With five laps to go C4 made the pass for the lead coming off two and was in the lead by the time they hit turn four. With a hand full of laps C4 stretched out his lead and took his second win in his third start in his C4 Super Street ride.

“This is how you answer back, proving it on the track. Not by posts on the internet or sending messages or anything else. I went out there to win tonight and do it with out any problems what so ever. Also to go to a totally different track with the same setup and gear and to win is great and unbelievable. I also want to thank my sponsors and family for all the help and hard work, and to the fans that support local dirt track racing in our area,” C4 stated afterwards.

You can catch C4 racing his CRATE late model this weekend at Fayetteville during the Lucas Oil race and the following week at Dublin for the Orren Taylor Memorial $2,000 to win limited late model race.

Team C4 made two trips to the Carolina Speedway Lakeview and one to the Sumter speedway.  In the first trip to Carolina Speedway C4 qualified on the outside pole and was running really strong.  With a few laps to go the carburetor hung up and the night was over for C4.

The next week C4 made his first trip to the Sumter Speedway to run a special $1,000 Crate race. C4 was able to qualify third only three tenths off the pole speed of Jimmy Blackwell. On the start Terry Caples was able to get ahead of Jimmy and C4 was right behind. After several laps the top three were well ahead of fourth and were within five car lengths of each other.

C4 was able to finish third and was really happy with that finish being it was his first trip there, but when he made the trip to the pay window he found out that the 83 of Jimmy Blackwell was light after the race. The six hundred dollar pay day was great for the rookie late model driver in his first trip there.

Finally just this past weekend C4 and C3 made a trip to the Carolina Speedway to win in the Super Street class. In qualifying C4 was able to lay down a lap good enough for second while C3 had motor problems ending his night early. Oh what a night it could have been if they both could have raced together.

At the start C4 almost pulled ahead of the leader but couldn’t pull it off. C4 then did the only thing that was smart he followed the leader till the right time to pass. With three laps to go cautions kept flying then it was time for c4 to get up on the wheel. On the last restart C4 was able to stay really close and get a good run on the leader a couple of times. Then the leader pushed going in to turn one and C4 put his car in the hole, at the same time the leader just turned down to cut C4 off and protect the lead. Heavy contact was made and the leader was able to hold C4 off, they were nose to tail going through three and four then going into turn one the leader just drove in to hard and just lost it. C4 then drove to his first win of 2008 and seventeenth career win.

“The last three weeks have been great and it can only get better with the win from this past weekend, I am having fun and running good at the same time” c4 stated. “I really am looking forward to the next few weeks in prepping the Crate car for action again.” In the next coming weeks C4 should have some information on where he will be racing and what car he will be piloting.

The last two weeks C4 has made the trip to Hammerdown Speedway in pursuit of seat time in his new late model. The track is small and very tight but young C4 posted two top ten runs in both trips there. With a fifth place two weeks ago and a disappointing ninth this past weekend C4 has shown great speed and car control at the bullring.

 

The C4 car has ran great all year for it being Cameron's first season in late models and epically with C4 running a crate motor. In the coming weeks C4 will be racing around the area at different tracks trying to get seat time and learning how to work with his new car. This weekend the C4 team will be back to the Carolina Speedway with both C4 cars with C3 driving the SS car.

 

"After going to a track that I had never raced at before and running quick within two weeks it makes me fill good as a driver, it also shows how good that I have adapted to the different type tracks. The C4 car has been great and I am learning more and more every race." C4 stated after wards.

C4 Late Model Heading to HammerDown Speedway

Cameron Norris IV and the C4 Racin team will race HammerDown Speedway on Saturday April 26.  This is the first time Cameron has raced this track. For more information visit HammerDown Speedway.

Power Steering Problems Affect C4

After a seventh place start C4 jumped to fifth place in the opening laps of the Late Model feature.

With the power steering not working properly C4 couldn’t hold the Langleys Home Improvement car down and keep the competition behind him. C4 slipped back to ninth and was only able to get around the 22 car of Johnny Pridgen . Cameron battled the 25 car of Steven Blanton lap after lap and almost got by him several times.

 

“After tonight I think that I am getting better every week with the track time, without the power steering it made tonight difficult but sometimes you just got to make the best of it. With the motor and horsepower that I have its going to take sometime to get used to driving the 4 bar over the heavier car from last year.”

New Car, New Track, New Season

April 12th was the first points race of the season at Carolina Speedway in Lake View, SC. It was also the first points race opportunity for C4 to get seat time after moving up to the Late Model Division.

Cameron started the C4 machine in the 4th position, and ended up finishing 6th. "It's a tight track," he said. "I tried a move to the outside to improve my position but it didn't pay off. Sometimes you don't know till you try.  Tonight is all about getting used to the car and learning it's abilities."

Cameron Norris IV will bring the C4 Late Model back to Lake View next week.
