Brady Kelly, Matt Cook, and April Spell swept the two days of Summit Series bracket racing at South Georgia Motorsports Park in their respective categories. After the June event was rained out, racers were ready to go in July. Although the track temperature reached 148 on Sunday afternoon, the racing was hot and heavy.
In the Super Pro category, seven rounds of racing on Saturday night came down to Todd Osting against Michael Bonacci. Osting ran a perfect 5.320 on his 5.32 dial to beat Bonacci who narrowly broke out. In Sunday’s event, Guy Sawter in his dragster defeated Roger Mann in his 69 Camaro by breaking out the least. Saturday winner Osting lost in the semifinals to Sawter, narrowly missing a chance to double up.
In Pro, it was all Brady Kelly. On Saturday, Kelly defeated Ken Grant. Kelly took a narrow reaction time advantage and ran a 7.61 on his 7.59 dial to beat Grant’s 7.57 on his 7.56 dial. On Sunday, Brady Kelly defeated Roger Kelly. Roger took a great starting line advantage, but couldn’t run his number. Brady ran a 7.579 on his 7.56 dial for the win.
In the Sportsman category, Joe Tillman beat a fouling Gaines Hickman on Saturday, and frequent winner Kenny Bevins, Jr. beat Beau Gay on Sunday when Gay fouled.
In the Intermediate Junior Dragster class, Matt Cook dominated Saturday and Sunday. On Saturday, Matt beat Shelby Tejera by gaining the reaction time advantage and running a fine 8.936 on his 8.93 dial while Shelby broke out by .006 seconds. On Sunday after five rounds of tough racing, Matt defeated his cousin Drew Hostetter who fouled.
April Spell dominated five rounds of Advanced Junior Dragster racing on Saturday and Sunday. In the Saturday final, she defeated Dalton Samuel by running a 7.96 on her 7.94 dial to Dalton’s 8.006 on his 7.95 dial. On Sunday, April beat Ladson Selph in a tight race. April took the reaction time advantage, .031 to .050 and ran a 7.986 on her 7.97 dial to defeat Selph’s 8.017 on his 8.00 dial.
