WEDNESDAY NOTEBOOK – LEE BACK ON TOP AGAIN IN RADIAL VS THE WORLD
Jason Lee is doing pretty much what he’s done for the Radial vs. The World division for the last several trips to South Georgia Motorsports… showing no mercy.
Lee, of Vernon, California, made his cross-country trip worthwhile on the first day of qualifying at the No Mercy 13 drag radial race by driving his way to the top of qualifying with a 3.573 elapsed time at 206.39.
Also leading their respective classes were Brylon Holder (Pro 275), Shane Heckel (X275), and DJ McCain (Outlaw Drag Radial).
Holder, who resides in Bakersfield, Ca., added to the west coast domination as he drove his late-model Camaro to the top of the Pro 275 division with a 3.717, 201.07.
Heckel was the top runner in X275, driving his Baytown, Texas-based ’91 Mustang to a 4.226, edging fellow Texan Kenny Hubbard, who ran a 4.234. Shane Moses was third with a 4.245.
McCain was the clear top horse with the Outlaw Drag Radial with a 3.936. He and JR Pines were the only two in the class to run in the three-second zone with their Mustangs.
SCARY MOMENT – There was a scary moment during the Q1 session of Radial vs The World when Casey Buschmeyer lost control and slammed into the retaining wall, resulting in a huge fireball. The driver emerged uninjured.
