The Luck Bank At ADRL South Georgia
Taking The Race One At A Time In ADRL Extreme Pro Modified
Hagerstown, MD – Our return to the fantastically prepared and well run Hardee’s session at South Georgia 
Motorsports Park was quite the exercise in futility for our Appalachia on Steroids Pro Extreme Camaro. And that, My Friends is a classic understatement! After what we thought was a very successful test session at Maryland International Raceway the Saturday before the Easter Bunny arrived, we found out was a major misconception.
The ADRL draws the first two pairs out of the hat for each class in the first round of eliminations which eliminates the “I ain’t going up first, are you? NOPE!” syndrome. So as our luck would have it John Stanley was the first car drawn first round. And this as well is not usually good for us! At the hit of the throttle for the first qualifier John’s usually able steed went about 20 feet and blazed the tires. Luck bank draw, NEGATIVE number one. Then on the second qualifier young Cody Barklage came out of the right lane across the center line on two wheels and missed the back and/or the driver’s door of John’s Camaro by a bit. The fact that Cody missed John at all put us even more in the Luck Bank at that point!
So it was on to the third qualifier on Friday night and our time to shine! Not a snowball’s chance in Hades’ on this day! John left with a lazy car under him and no power to do anything except to pedal it and try to get to the other end. And when it was all said and done we were left number 16 on the ladder of sixteen! We called that one a wash at the Luck Bank.

Burbage Runs Career Best, But Falls Short in Finals
Sacramento, CA – Rod Burbage and the Spec Rite Converters 58 Corvette went to the finals and ran a career best at 
last week’s Funny Car Fever event at Sacramento Raceway. Burbage started the weekend by qualifying #2 with a 6.14 @ 238mph and then making two more consecutive 6.14 laps through qualifying and eliminations. For the finals, Burbage’s tuner, Lonnie Houde knew he had to step the car up.
“Brett (Williamson) had qualified with a 6.09 and then ran a 5.90 in the first round of eliminations in the Pittman built ‘Stude, so we knew going into the finals we really had to step the car up, to even have a chance.”
Meadors, Goodguys Racing Camaro Run Career Best Numbers in Season’s First Outing
Sacramento, CA – The Goodguys Racing Pro Mod ’69 Camaro hit the track for the first time this season over the 
weekend at Sacramento Raceway Park competition during the 29th annual Funny Car Fever event. Racing in the West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod category, driver Marc Meadors instantly felt the performance gains from a brand new combination, unloading a career best 6.19 @ 237mph off the trailer!
The Camaro’s new motor combo (installed over the winter to include “Brad 6” hemi cylinder heads, an Mike Stawicki Racing Performance 60mm camshaft and a MSR hand fabricated sheet metal intake manifold) gave the Goodguys Racing team the additional horsepower to play with. Competing with a 451-inch Brad Anderson hemi with roots blower has always differentiated the Goodguys Camaro as the bulk of the other competitors in the WCOPM group run 526-inch hemi‘s with screw-type blowers.
