Dirty MO Family Survival Plan!!!! Effective immediately the Outlaw Mad Dawgs will be open to any type of tire. This now allows any size/type slick or street style tire to be allowed to compete at all four Mad Dawg events at Mooresville Dragway. After review and the consideration this decision was made in the name of economics. That way racers want have to miss any races because they can’t get a certain type tire. We apologize for any inconvience this may have cause any dawg racers. Note, that weight and the addition of lenco’s will remain in effective and will still follow any weight changes made by Piedmont’s Big Dogs

TILLEY/LAMBERT Rule all the Dawgs at Final '08 Event
Joel Douglas Wins Outlaw Mad Dawg Shoot Out at Farm
(9-21-2008) MOCKSVILLE, NC- The 1st annual All Door Car Jamboree was held at the O’Reilly Farmington Dragway on Saturday September the 20th. These Ultra Fast Door Slammers always put on an action packed show and Saturday didn’t disappoint. There was a field of 18 Outlaws going for top 8 spots.
After the final round of qualifying “the Carolina Kid” Travis Harvey blasted his way to the top of the charts when his Russ Farmer prepared Race Tech Camaro stopped the clocks with a 4.137 at 184.62. That is a new speed record for the Dawgs but not all was well. When Travis went through the lights on the top end there was a large cloud of smoke that followed. Travis and the crew put in a very valiant effort but there was just to much damage done to the engine. Travis’ bad luck opened the door for J.D. Goad and his Dancing With Death Lumina. Jason Harris driving his Father’s GTO was slated 2nd with a strong 4.217 at 172.92. The “Junkyard Dawg” David Lambert took the 3rd spot with a 4.226 at 174.00. Donnie Krusinski in his Tommy Mauney built Monte Carlo qualified 4th with his 4.231 at 175.67.
Ken Regenthal took the Clutch out of his Famous Carolina Hooker and put a Turbo 400 in to compete in the Outlaw Race. Ken covered the 1/8 mile with a 4.232 at 173.70. Eventual winner Joel Douglas driving Anthony Sherrill’s Colbat that gets it’s power from a Steve Vance Racing Engine 632 came out of the 6th spot with a 4.239 at 169.79. The runner up from the ADRL 10.5 class at Rockingham Darrin Hoyle was #7 with a 4.241 at 170.06. Former Quick 8 Champion Todd Howard got the 8th and final spot with a 4.245 at 170.91.
The first round action kicked off with Darrin Hoyle and David Lambert. David went .029 red giving the win Darrin. Darrin stopped the clocks with a 4.257 at 170.49. Next up was Donnie Krusinski and Todd Howard. Donnie went into tire shake while Todd laid down a 4.259 at 171.88. On paper Jason Harris looked to have the upper hand on Joel Douglas but that wasn’t the out come. Douglas picked up the performance the tune of a 4.222 at 170.16 to Jason’s 6.392 at 62.86. After the run Bob Harris found out that they had a MSD box go out. The last pair up was Ken Regenthal and first alternate J.D. Goad. J.D. took advantage of the misfortune of Travis Harvey and got the win light over Ken running a 4.247 at 174.70. Ken battled tire shake problems and posted a time of 5.985 at 84.12.
The semi finals saw J.D. Goad versus Darrin Hoyle and Joel Douglas going head to head with Todd Howard. The call went out for the semi finalists to come to the staging lanes. One car was missing, the Ford Probe owned by Jerry Williams. The starter went out on the Probe and Todd Howard and the crew were forced to sit this one out. Joel made his pass ran a 4.360 at 138.96 to advance to the finals. The next race looked to be a barn burner, J.D. ran a 4.24 in the first round and Darrin ran a 4.25. The tree activated and Darrin went .008 red while J.D.’s car stumbled on the line running a 9.465 at 66.45.
The final was set, J.D. Goad and Joel Douglas were going at it to see who was the Baddest Dawg of them all. When the tree went from Amber to Green Joel Douglas left first with a .017 to J.D.’s .174. As the cars went down the track Joel steadily pulled away from J.D.. When the cars went through the lights the win light came on for Joel. Joel picked up the performance even more running a strong 4.202 at 170.04 to J.D.’s 4.307 at 154.45.
Runner up J.D. Goad said, “We got lucky 2nd round, we’ve some mechanical trouble but we didn’t have anything for Douglas anyway. He had a great day and his car performed very well. We wouldn’t be here without Ronnie at Prime Time race cars. He’s the man that gets us down the track. I want to thank our sponcers Goad’s Body Shop, James T Davis and Prime Time Race Cars. I also want to than k Scoot Duggins and all the guys at PAR Racing Engines.”
The winning car owner Anthony Sherrill said, “I really want thank Randy Smart. He’s a great chasis builder. Also Steve Vance at Steve Vance Racing Engines. He came from the Nascar world and is starting to get into Drag Racing. He has built us a great piece, this 632 is very strong engine.”
A very Happy Joel Douglas added, “We got over here late today and then we had trouble with the thing stumbling on line., we ended up changing carburetors. We missed our first pass and came back for a 2nd pass and it was actually to late to even get in. We had one shot to get during the last round of qualifying. Before we came over here we made a bunch changes 4 link, gear and the whole thing trying to get this thing to were it would pick it up. We got Chris Cline over here helping us today and that paid off. I want to thank Randy Smart and Gibb’s Race Cars. I also want to thank Steve Vance at Steve Vance Racing Engines, without him this thing wouldn’t run the way it does. Steve build’s a great product and this proof of that. This 632 is one strong piece and it makes some serious power. None of this would be possible without Anthony Sherrill, he the man behind all this and makes it happen.”
The next and final race for the Outlaw Mad Dawgs is October 4th at Mooresville Dragway. For more information on the Mad Dawgs visit www.outlawmaddawgs.com.
