PRO EXTREME
Florida’s Joe Baker showed he knows how to adapt to the hot mountain air by tuning his .41 Willys to a 3.979 at 188.76 mph to set low E.T and top speed of qualifying in his first official attempt.
Chassis builder Joey Martin had Carl Gilbert’s new ’07 Mustang out for its ADRL debut at Radford, but managed only a 4.213 and missed getting into eliminations by just two thousandths. Gilbert confirmed Martin is going to build a second Mustang for Gilbert to race in ADRL Extreme 10.5 trim and it will be painted in an opposite silver-with-blue-stripes team livery.
Original outlaw Hugh Scott suffered the most serious incident of the weekend at Radford when his ’41 Willys got out of control immediately off the hit for his final qualifying attempt on Saturday afternoon. Scott was uninjured and damage to the car appeared minimal beneath its shattered fender, but he was unable to continue in eliminations and his 16th-place starting position went to first alternate T.J. Harrill.
