It was another big weekend for bracket racing at South Georgia Motorsports Park as the racers turned out for a chance to win a Wally trophy at the annual King of the Track event. After competition in Pro and Super Pro divisions, the two winners would face off for the coveted Wally.
After two rounds of time trials, the racers lined up for the Dial In for Dollars event. Carey "The Crow" Locke took home the Super Pro money when he ran a perfect 4.730 on his 4.73 dial in. In Pro, Jeff Adkinson took home the money.
A large field of Junior Dragsters boiled down to A. J. Williams and Beau Gay. Williams ran a 13.291 on his 13.19 dial to win when Gay broke his clutch midway down track and slowed to an 8.997 on his 8.71 dial.
In Pro competition semi finals, Hugh West beat Jeff Adkinson's Camaro and Brandon Wood beat last year's Wally winner Frankie Bishop. In the final, Hugh West ran a 6.850 on his 6.84 dial (rt .046) to beat a much better leaving Brandon Wood (rt .007) when Wood couldn't run his number. Wood hit a 7.096 on his 7.04 dial. This was West's first win, and he was very excited. He dedicated the win to his late wife who died of cancer.
In Super Pro semifinals, a determined Jeff Adkinson ran a fine 4.830 on is 4.82 dial in his dragster to beat Shannon Newell's Chevy Two. In the other semi, Neal Bennett ran a 5.620 on his 5.61 dial to beat Mark Padgett's good 4.905 on his 4.89 dial. In the finals, Adkinson ran 4.823 on is 4.81 dial with a reaction time of .006 only to lose to Neal Bennett's Perfect Run. That's right! Bennett had a reaction time of .000 and ran 5.610 on his 5.61 dial for the perfect run and the win.
After the perfect run, the only thing left was the race for the Wally between Pro winner West and Super Pro winner Bennett. West won the Wally with a 6.862 on his 6.84 dial when Bennett was late but still ran a fine 5.602 on his 5.60 dial. It was all in the reaction time as West had a .034 to Bennett's .621. West got his first ever win, the Wally, and Bennett got his first ever perfect run and the Super Pro win. It was quite a night.
