me sir early mark flowers will go blazing the tires on the starting line it is a very interesting class it is it is you know as much outlaw style or drag radial dedicated racing goes on around the country this is any trees really kind of a radial based class almost every car in this class will have a radial style rear tire and they are having 3,500 plus pounds 1,500 plus horsepower and the power is going through effectively a 275 radial tire or if you really want to do at a nine-inch slick now we saw the results of trying to apply that horsepower to quickly as mark power flew the tire up now it's Jeff Turk and Archie cone coming up cone from Richmond Texas and a Jeff Turk from Yorkville Illinois in the Blackbird a giant starting line advantage but does the COPO have enough horsepower to stop the charge of Jeff Turk it does 816 beats and 813 archie cone bought himself a round victory with lightning quick reflexes on the starting line turn was 70 and Turk did have the quicker car but Archie Cohen with a running head start gone to the finish line first [Music] the next pair coming up now will be Kevin Skinner in the Mustang Cobra jet out of Grove City Ohio the Columbus join and clutch sponsored machine and layup the approaced rather from Danville Indiana the elbe and Edo 2015 challenger drag pack is coming in hot here in the race killed outside pre-staged

irreverent 7/7 of these conditions the racetrack 9 409 at 107 point 6 1 miles per hour Kevin Skinner outrun and Lea Pritchett is going to the semi-final round to face either Steve Bell in a Mustang giris ability COPO Camaro or Chris Holbrooke in a Mustang Cobra Jet [Music] smoking tires again down the racetrack miss Oelrichs try to regain control of 330 feet in Stephenville goes 880 to 5 in 162 points 7 8 miles an hour that was ugly but a win light is never ugly and Stephen Bell will advance to the semi-final round 2 attempt to stop the freight train of Lea Pritchett in the L Bandido drag pack tech semifinals Arthur Cohen on the left side mark powicke and right side mark pawuk absolutely got away with one last round and he'll tell you the same thing because he smoked the tires but there was a red light the other lane that let him come back and play some more the former pro stock racer in the Don Schumacher fielded drag pack and Archie Cohn out of Texas and hopefully this hierarchy hikes the phlegm in in his car hook the left 8:23 167 miles an hour and the cowboy who's first final round came here in super gas years ago is gonna have another crack at it this time in the factory stock showdown and will he raise his teammate that's Lea Pritchett mark and Leo were the one and two qualifiers and Stephen Bell he's got a couple of wins under his belt in this series and his red Chevrolet the car dealer out of Louisiana the top Fuel driver from right here in Indy and it's tire spin for Stephen Bell Lee I'll have another crack at nd you'll have to beat her teammate to do it 8:11 oh that's showing off 169 miles an hour on a hot racetrack well Kevin Helms you've already won the race take the rest of the day off let your drivers figure it out Stephen Bell spun on the starting line goes 859 at 166 miles an hour this is an all dodge affair a pair of challenger drag tacks with 350 for cubic engine pretty heavy walled with Whipple superchargers lined up side by side mark pawuk returned to the sport of drag racing with Don Schumacher racing this year to or a couple of seasons it was last year that they really caught the wind of how to run this thing the right way how to be competitive with it and how to bring the heat this is adsr team win any way you slice it both cars run from that core impacto equipment corporation that business mark Howard runs that allows him to go drag racing here with the drag pack leader Bridgette obviously a professional drag racer got to square off against the man who for many years raised professionally in the Pro Stock ranks and who has certainly picked an a-cup a lot quicker where I should say very quickly like you never left the seat the cowboy versus L Bandito Victor side pick your poison and pick your Hemi because one of the eases going to the winner's circle in goes mark power a mattress this is for the three years a Chevrolet performance us Nashville large power trying to lean on Lea's car powered a little spark at the end and Lea Pritchett collects the Sam tech factory stock showdown victory in the L Bandido challenger drag pack 810 with an 8 a 170 miles per hour for Lea Pritchard as factory stock showdown this is the car they call it bandido l Bandito this is the driver miss Leah Pritchett getting the job done get loud get crazy Lea Pritchett you have just won Indy are we going to Disney I mean you tell me
