MO HALL DOES WHAT MO HALL DOES AT SGMP; LEE UPS THE ANTE IN RVW

Stop us if you've heard this one before.

Mo Hall, a leading Pro 275 drag radial racer, has dominated the competition at South Georgia Motorsports Park.

In his first run of the weekend in Thursday's lone Pro 275 session, Hall drove his Fulton Competition-powered Corvette to the top spot with a 3.740 elapsed time at 198.88 miles per hour. 

"I don't know about dominated," Hall said. "We got lucky one night. Air's in our favor. Brandon's [Switzer] just doing a good job, so we'll take it for tonight.

Last fall at South Georgia Motorsports Park, Hall used qualifying domination to create a dominant race day domination. Is it familiarity with the track? Or just good records?

"We don't have a lot of data," Hall admitted. "We've had radial tires on our cars for only three years, so we don't have a ton of data. We just try to be smart with what we're doing. We don't try to swing for anything that's unrealistic. We just try to make realistic runs, and we get lucky.

"We've been fortunate the last two years and had really good conditions for a nitrous car. So, I think that's about the gist of it."

Wednesday's Radial vs. The World provisional low qualifier Jason Lee was channeling his inner Nostradamus on Wednesday when he predicted better air conditions would lead to his team stepping up in a big way.

"I think we left a little bit on the table down low, but outside of that, I think all I was going to do is keep trying to improve every round and see where we end up because everybody else is going to do the same," Lee said.

While many of the usual Radial vs. The World heavy-hitters were elsewhere this weekend, Lee says the mainstay guys are coming to the top. 

"We've been doing this for quite a while," Lee said. "Some of the big name guys aren't here unfortunately but we really want to support this because racing on Radials is awesome, going fast is awesome and you it's a good event. Donald does a good job and the payouts are great so we're just trying to support it and hopefully, a lot of those guys will come back."

What's it going to take to make Lee a superstar in the division?

"We've got to win the race," Lee surmised. 

Other provisional low qualifiers included Rob Goss (X275), Tim Kincaid (Limited Drag Radial), Wes Evrin (Ultra Street) and Jason Riley (Limited 235).
