Dixie Outlaws Invade Darlington Dragway (04-07-12) DARLINGTON, SC - The 2012 season for the Dixie Outlaws and Darlington Dragway has gotten underway. I want to first say thank you to the racers, sponsors and the fans who came out to support us. It was a long day that went into the cool night air. With many racers having problems in prior weeks from testing, the car count wasn't that great. With five cars in staging lanes for first round of qualifying it would get a little crazy. Woody Elders would come out first with his 63 Corvette powered by a small block, Lenco transmission and run a 5.185 107 after almost crossing the center line, up next was Nick Cline in his 38 nitrous powered chevy coupe and Carol "She Devil" Long in her 63 blown Corvette after the long smokey burnouts Carol had to be shut down from fluid leaking from under the car. Nick was on a single pass, and he stopped the clocks at a 4.741at 146.27 after a nitrous malfunction. Dennis Jordan in his blown 69 Nova was the next out of the box and ran a 4.599 at 153.42, last up was Josh Miller in his Stroupe built GXP, time the tree was activated the computer system shut down so he got no time. So with all the racers hoping to better themselves on second round it was time. Carol and Woody would be the first pair out with Woody improving his time to a 4.77 at 147 and Carol tire shaking to a 7.76 at 56.83. Josh Miller came out on a single run and after not getting a time in first round he laid down a 4.490 at 159. With Dennis Jordan and Nick Cline left to go they knew what they had to do to take the #1 spot. Their burnouts were complete and the tree was dropped Nick went into tire shake from the hit and only going a 9.01at 65.27 and Dennis throwing off a blower belt with a 9.10 at 42.22. The field was set with Josh Miller earning the #1 spot and the bye run first round. Dennis Jordan # 2 faced Woody Elders # 4. Dennis would pick up the win with a 4.618 at 152.64 to a 4.698 at 148.34. The next two pair out was Nick Cline #3 up against Carol Long #5. Nick would get the win with a 5.022 at 138.27 to a 5.032 at 106.57 but it was a tire shake on his side and a transmission issue on Carol's side. Josh came out and ran the bye with a 4.491at 160.51 on a string. While the cars make preparations for the next round there was a top end crash in the bracket race. After an hour and half delay and the temperatures getting cool it was decided not to finish the race. Once again thanks to the racers, sponsors, Darlington Dragway, and the fans who came out. Hope to see you again on May 19^th.
