Courtesy Tim Glover
(Adel, GA - February 12-13, 2005) The air was a bit cool, but racers still enjoyed a great weekend at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Adel, Georgia. The Peach State Bracket Nationals was the first CSR Division Two race of 2005, and the second stop in the BTE / Citgo Series for 2005. More than 200 racers turned out to race for their share of the BTE / Citgo cash being awarded, with $5000 going to the Afco Super Pro winner each day, and $1000 awarded daily in the Dynatech Sportsman class.
FRIDAY
Over 100 racers got their cars ready for the weekend during Friday night's Test and Tune session. Later in the evening, a Gambler's race was held, and Jesse Young from Danielsville, Georgia began his racing year off on a good note, with a win against Chris Weaver from Perry, Florida. Young, driving an ex-Mike Fuqua dragster he recently purchased from "Fireman Joe" Rampley, used a .006 react and a .02 over 4.88 to take the win stripe .016 seconds before Weaver. Weaver's machine carded a 6.43 on a 6.39 dial.
SATURDAY
Saturday started off very well for Dynatech No Box Sportsman racer Randy Franklin of Loganville, Georgia. Franklin put a 10.24 on his '79 Chevy Luv for the Barker Trailer Sales Bte/Citgo "Run For Trailer" event. He not only nailed the number with a 10.240, but his .004 reaction time put him in the Barker Trailer Sales Pace American lead for the trailer, knocking last week's leader, Afco Super Pro racer Jess Nelson of Arizona, out of contention. Mark Padgett (Dublin, Georgia) won the Super Pro Run for the Trailer cash, turning in a 4.830 on a 4.83. Justin Koontz of Parrish, Florida won the Jr. Dragster portion of the purse.
Former NHRA Division Two ET champion Dave Triplett of Eustis, Florida earned the win in Afco Super Pro against Shane Parker of Ambrose, Georgia. Triplett used a .011 advantage to take the win with his '72 Vega, running 5.86 at 114.82mph. Ambrose's S-10 carded a 6.63 at 101.77mph.
2004 Sportsman champion Phil Combs, a Jeg's Racer of the Month, picked right back up from where he ended last season, with a win in his trusty S-10 pickup against none other than multi time NHRA champion Edmond Richardson. Combs was on his game, with a .016 react, while Richardson was a bit tardy with a .041 react in his '72 Nova.
Cocoa, Florida racer Eric Rodden got the win in Jr. Dragster after defeating Dennis Bargeron from Screven, GA. Both racers had great reacts, .025 and .026, but Rodden crossed the stripe first with an 8.67 at 72.59mph. Bargeron turned in an 8.70 at 74.55mph.
Keith Hardin (Campbellsville, Kentucky) won the four foot tall Jeg's Trophy for his Saturday Trophy class win in his Nova.
SUNDAY
The first Sunday winners took home a portion of the Barker Pace Trailers Run for the Trailer cash. Jeff Adkinson from Colquitt Georgia, driving his Race Tech 4 link dragster, went 5.040 on a 5.04 with a .015 light for the Super Pro portion of the purse. William Taylor was the Dynatech Sportsman winner, and Ladson Selph from Alamo, Georgia was the Race Tech Jr Dragster winner.
Bruce Mouat won the MGM Best Appearing Car award, and Kyle Boulware, another former Jeg's Race of the Month, earned the MGM Best Engineered Car award.
Greenbrier, Tennessee racer Edmond Richardson made another trip to the final, this time in Afco Super Pro class. He faced Adam Derossett from Yulee, Florida, and took the win courtesy of a .014 to .022 reaction time advantage, making this the fourth out of five races that Richardson has won at the new South Georgia Motorsports Park.
Scott Bishop, younger brother of Frankie Bishop, drove his brother's '68 Budweiser Nova to a win against Jay Moore from Waycross, Georgia in Dynatech Sportsman. Bishop's .039 react made the difference after Moore had a .083 light. Bishop went 6.67 at 102.03mph and Moore's '67 Nova carded a 6.61 at 102.35mph.
Dennis Bargeron may have finished runner up in Saturday's Jr Dragster action, but he made up for that loss with a win on Sunday against Leesburg, Georgia racer Chuck Jones, who bowed out of competition in the final with a red light. In addition to the trophy, Bargeron also left the event as the Division Two Jr Dragster points leader.
Although Adam Derossett didn't get the Sunday Super Pro win, he did leave the weekend with the Race Tech Super Pro Championship Points lead. Chris Vels of Division 7 continues to lead the Nesbitt Sportsman class, with Phil Combs leading Division 3 points and currently placing 3rd in the world. Edmond Richardson and Kenny Bevins are now tied for the Division 2 Championship, and are currently number 4 in the world. Jonathon Maynard leads Division 7 and the Nationwide Points Championship, with Dennis Bargeron taking over Division 2 and number 2 in the world, in the Race Tech Jr Dragster chase for the championship.
