Bristol, TN
The fog hung low between the mountains on Tuesday morning of the RAD Torque Systems Fall Fling presented by OPTIMA Batteries at Bristol Dragway, but with a little bit of sunlight cars hit the track for their first passes of the week.
Rob’s Automotive, Collision, and Towing presented the test and tune and 32-Car $50,000 Shootout. The format guaranteed a door car versus dragster final with 16 door cars on one side of the ladder and 16 dragsters on the other.
In the final round the ‘79 Malibu of Pete D’Agnolo faced off with the Folk dragster of Tucker Kanselaar, where Kanselaar backed up his double “0” and dead-on run in the semifinals with a .008 and dead-on five lap getting to the stripe first by .005 to earn the Rob’s Automotive 32-Car Shootout big check.
Saturday saw some of the nicest weather of the week as the rains from the hurricane finally let up earlier the previous day and the $500k got going after new entry time runs.
Jack Ostrowski from Duryea, PA is the RAD Torque Systems Fall Fling presented by OPTIMA Batteries $500,000 Champion on Moser Engineering Saturday at Bristol Dragway! Jack faced off with Jake Clayton from Chattanooga, TN in the final round where Ostrowski was .007 taking .003 over Clayton to secure the half million dollar purse. Michael Carpenter was the lone semi finalist.
Dylan Witherow dominated on the final day at the Fall Fling 500K to win the ATI Performance Products/JEGS Performance 100K! Dylan was .018 and dead-on two in the final against Tyler Mosley. In the semis, Witherow was .009 total against Ray Miller III to lock up the Fuel Factory Points Championship and earn the custom-wrapped helmet and a $5000 bonus.
