"Fire
& Smoke" this Sat. Night!!!
Jason Harris and Travis Harvey. The Pontiac GTO of Jason’s had
tore up a transmission in his first round win over David
Campbell. The Harris gang quickly went to work, but also with
the help from Travis, Jeff Miller and other members of the Race
Tech crew. In that semi-final match up of the young titans,
Harvey left with a slight advantage of the tree. The Albert
powered 632 of Jason and Bob Harris was on a run clicking off a
.983 60ft and 2.80 330 times. But right after half track Harris’
car made a sharp move and he had to let up. The Race Tech
“Rocket Ship” recorded another super 4.19 ET at 175 MPH win to
advance to their second Mad Dawg finals. On the other side of
the ladder local favorite Joel Douglas driving Anthony Sherrills
632 powered Cavalier was up against ultra quick Sambo Price in
his PAR racing engines Camaro. The Outlaw Sambo took a big
advantage of the line and wouldn’t look back for a 4.20 ET at
170 MPH win over Douglas and advance to his first dawg finals.
The Douglas and Ant team had the Chevy hooked up going a great
4.24 ET to come up second best.
