Outlaw 10.5

Drag Radial was the 1st to take to the track and the 1st pair out was Chad Smith and Clarence Young. They pull to the line and it's Clarence who get's the jump 1st with .624 with Chad waiting for the big .695, But Clarence putting to much power to the track smoking the tires and loosing time gave the chance Chad need to catch back up and go on for the win. Chad goes through with 6.143 @ 112.20 MPH over Clarence's 6.278 @ 115.66 MPH.
2nd pair to take to the line was Eric Hendrickson and Ray Whittington. Ray get's the jump at the tree with .568 and never looks back. Eric had a long nap before leaving with his .925 but showed great speed trying to catch Eric. Eric went through with 6.527 @ 119.03 with Ray taking the win with 6.100 @ 114.32 MPH.

The top dogs have stayed away letting the local guys have great races all though seeing the 4.5- passes is great but it leaves little room for the small guys to make a run for it But there is room for a few more cars in each class but remember bring your a game because its anybody's race. I hope to see you all back at the next race guys and thanks for a great night of racing.
