I was gonna' flip it over if that's what it took, but then it just sat down on its own and I was able to drive down through there and luckily got the win." By that time, though, I wasn't gonna' lift, no matter what. Fortunately, he had to lift because his car wheelied, too, so he did have to just blip the throttle.

It felt like it was three feet high, but probably it was really only about a foot, but it didn't matter because I wasn't lifting. "And then about 60 feet out my front end came up on me.

"So I knew I cut a good light, because I knew I got a car on him, but I could still hear him there. "I knew he was faster than we were all day, so I said to myself, 'All I wanna' do is leave on him,' because if I leave on him and he just outruns me I'll be able to shake his hand and not feel bad about it," Quartuccio said. 088 holeshot, while Markiewicz almost immediately headed into a big wheelstand that he eventually had to overcome as Quartuccio went on to post an event-winning 3.76 at 200.35 mph to a 3.77 at 198.76 by Markiewicz. In the final, Quartuccio left first with a sizable. Markiewicz had another relatively easy win over Calvin Franco in round three, then managed a come-from-behind win against Jamie Hancock in the semi-finals. On the opposite side of the ladder, Markiewicz also had a first-round bye before making another solo pass when Justin Swanstrom couldn't answer the call for round two. He next beat number-one qualifier Jason Lee, who lost traction off the hit in the semis to set up the final against Markiewicz. Quartuccio made single runs in each of the first two elimination rounds, then overcame a holeshot by Giust in the quarterfinals. Joining Quartuccio in the SGMP winner's circle was Pro 275 racer Mo Hall, who successfully defended his 2021 Lights Out win, as well as his 2021 Duck X Sweet 16 victory at the same track. the World '69 Camaros vying for the Lights Out 13 title Sunday afternoon at South Georgia Motorsports Park, where Ken Quartuccio prevailed over Bryan Markiewicz for his first major Duck X Productions win. Other provisional low qualifiers included Rob Goss (X275), Neil Hawkins (Limited Drag Radial), and Jason Riley (Limited 235).It came down to a pair of Radials vs. "I think all of that, all the times that we've had, winning No Mercy, so we have a lot of intel on this track, but again, it's just a great team that we have," Buginga added. "There's a lot of high-caliber cars, but we have a great bunch of guys with us."īuginga has used his familiarity with SGMP as a baseline for repeat performances. "It's still early, this first round there's 15,000 other rounds to come," Buginga said. Though Buginga's opening salvo was impressive, he's not getting excited yet. Pro 275 racer Manny Buginga picked up where he left off last fall at the No Mercy 12 event by setting the pace with a 3.756 elapsed time at 198.64 miles per hour. "If the air stays about the same, I believe it may stand." "If the air gets much better, our run won't stick," Lee said. If the air is there for Thursday's session, Lee intends to turn up the wick. But if the air comes around, we're going to go ahead and see what we can do." I mean, if the air's not there, there's no sense trying to go faster because we won't be able to do it. We kind of see what everybody else is doing and then just kind of get a feel for what the air is. "We went to Orlando to test prior to this event and we pretty much just laid down exactly what we did there, here first round," Lee explains. We tested last week, and we're just duplicating what we've already done in testing.Īccording to Lee, the first run in Valdosta was a carbon copy of what he accomplished in Orlando. "But as the air gets better, we're definitely going to look to go a lot faster. "We just made small changes and to keep improving," Lee explained.
