Bristol, TN — The final day at the 15th anniversary RAD Torque Systems Fall Fling 500K presented by OPTIMA Batteries at Bristol Dragway

In the following pair, Mosley had the starting line advantage with a .002 bulb and put together .014 total to move past Manuel. On the bye, Witherow let go .016 and coasted down towards the memorial 1.39 dial-in lit up on the scoreboard.
In the semifinals, Miller and Witherow were .009 a pair with Witherow running the ‘98 S-10 dead-on with a zero for a nine package to knock out former Fall Fling $100K winner Miller in his ‘23 NexGen dragster.

Bristol, TN — After racers patiently waited 2 ½ days for the weather to pass, the long-awaited 15th Anniversary $500,000 main event finally

Bristol, TN — Day two at the RAD Torque Systems Fall Fling 500K presented by OPTIMA Batteries would see the start of eliminations for 
Advanced Product Design $50,000 Wednesday on the mountain at Bristol Dragway. Despite the best efforts of the track crew to provide a safe racing surface, intermittent showers disrupted racing activity.

We have the track for all week (and Sunday if needed),” said promoter Peter Biondo. “The Bristol staff, our staff, and myself are one-hundred percent committed to make it happen for our racers, and I am confident we will. When the heavy rain comes through, we ask for your patience to hang in there with us. We will add in some fun stuff if we get long hours of down time.”

LOCKHAART WHEELIES INTO FRIDAT $20K WIN DURING BTE LABOR DAY FOOTBRAKE CHALLENGE
BRISTOL, TN – Friday morning, the BTE Labor Day Footbrake Challenge launched with the last guaranteed time trial as racers gathered 
data to use for the remainder of the weekend. Opening ceremonies began with a sincere moment for Coalburg Racing Promotions’ two-time $50,000 winner and drag racing legend Scotty Richardson, who recently passed away. Co-promoter Jared Pennington recognized Richardson’s on-track accolades and contributions to the sport, but more importantly, the impact on his family and friends.

YOUNG CELEBRATES FIRST WIN ON DAY ONE OF THE BTE LABOR DAY FOOTBRAKE CHALLENGE
BRISTOL, TN – Bristol Dragway roared once again with the sounds of footbrake racing as Coalburg Racing Promotions returned for the BTE 
Labor Day Footbrake Challenge. Drivers utilized a track-operated test and tune session to get dialed in for the weekend of competition before Thursday’s Gamblers Race.
Shortly before staging lanes were closed, an unexpected storm saturated the facility, annihilated E-Z UP tents, and added an extra creek to the upper-level parking. Anyone in attendance certainly understands that when it rains at Bristol, it pours, but as usual, the sun quickly reappeared, and the track surface was race-ready in record time.
The purse for Thursday’s Gamblers Race was increased to $4,000 to win, and 174 entries rolled through the water box in round one of competition. The single entry and no buyback format rapidly eliminated the field and left no room for driver error. Soon, only six drivers remained in the sixth round: Brian Cireddu, Daniel Young, Kyle Feebeck, Lucas Walker, Robby Mayne, and Cody Barnhart. Continue reading
