Motor Mile
Dragway September 12th
| |
It just keeps getting better at ever
race. The action at Motor Mile was
off the hook with major upsets of the
heavy hitters getting knocked out and
bumpers getting abused like never
before. KOTS faithful Tommy
Sullivan went through a field of big
guns like the Terminator eventually
taking the win in the finals against new
comer Chris Ellington in Mickey Thompson
Street Race.
Tommy's Brother James Sullivan got his
first win on the same night as Tommy
taking a victory in Nitrous Express
6.95. Jeff Turner pulls a repeat
by slaughtering the competition in Qwik
Time 5.95.

the books. It was all action at
the Rockingham Civil Wars. Street

happened over the winter. Scott
set the bar high with a stunning
5.29!!! Newcomer Robert Agee
runner upped at his first KOTS event in
his Thunderbird.
Kid Rocket DJ Thompson let everyone know

laying down a 6.005 straight off the
trailer for #1 qualifier in TCI 6.0.
Three
KOTS Qwik Time 5.95 racers tied
for going the furthest in the race, Stan
Scruggs, Jody Sargent and Jake Horton.
In TCI

gang represented
going rounds. Last seasons runner
up Jeff Smith came out with guns blazing
and new improvements to his convertible,
going to the semis.
Jeff also won the 11.00 category in
Carolina True Street after the 30 mile
cruise. The big winner in his KOTS
debut was Jamie Doss with his gorgeous
Tangerine GT, winning the event. Jamie
only received 5 points because he went

in.
