Nature taking care of all the heat and more than folks at the track needed. Buddy Boozer prepped the track just as he would if there were 20 Pro Mods there racing.

Junior dragsters were the first to be called to staging with nine eager young boys and girls ready for the first round. After 2 rounds of eliminations in this class it was down to Kaycee Charette, Paul Charette, both of Evans, Ga. And Spencer Couch from the Charleston club, SDRA, “Southern Drag Racing Association” that was holding one of their club races on this afternoon. Paul would have a buy run into the finals against either Kaycee or Spencer, with Spencer taking the win over Kaycee by the very narrowest of margin. Spencer would take the win over a red light by Paul to wrap up the win.

Next up were the No Box cars. These cars have no electronics that the drivers can use to leave the line once the green light is activated.  After some hard fought rounds, we were down to four cars. Rickie Dunn, Jamie Walker, Jason McClure, and Craig Aull made it to the semi-finals. Jamie Walker would win over Rickie Dunn and Jason McClure would win over Craig Aull. The finals would see Jason McClure take the win light in a very close race of Jamie Walker.

The last class of the night is called Box. These drivers are allowed to run electronic devices that help them to improve their reaction times that can get very close to being perfect. There were 20 drivers in this class. After 3 round of action packed racing it was down to 4 drivers. Jason Bilton, Robert Lewis, Del Harwell, and Marty Snipes were the fortunate ones that made it through a very tough field of racers. The finals came down to Del Harwell from Charleston, Sc and also a member of the SDRA club against local great driver Jason Bilton of Orangeburg. Jason with his beautiful little Chevy Vega took the win win over Del Harwell’s beautiful black Mustang with Jason running a 6.29 second run on a 6.28 dial in. Del lift .0144 seconds to early getting a red light but still run a 5.50 second run on a 5.46 dial in after his red light.
