VALDOSTA, Ga. (May 12, 2008) - Quain Stott rolled into the ADRL's 4th Annual Hardee’s Georgia Drags with one thing on his mind - to go rounds. While going rounds is like money in the bank for the Columbus, North Carolina based LeeBoy Paving Equipment team, Stott knows going rounds in elimination is not a given.
"These Pro Mod cars are finicky," Stott explains. "One day you can look like a hero, the next day a chump." Fans of the ADRL and the purple and white LeeBoy Corvette have had a hero more often than not as Stott and his team enjoy a league leading .762 winning percentage at ADRL events. "We really like running these outlaw events," said Stott. "They're action packed, the fans love it and at the end of the night someone has bragging rights."
After a slow qualifying session, Stott began planning for the elimination rounds. "We didn't qualify as well as we wanted," he said. "Once we figured out that we had a blower problem it was really to late to do anything about it. We have 45 minutes between rounds, it's pretty much 'run what you brung' once eliminations start. But we had some old school, poor boy, tuning tricks that we used to compensate for that blower. Normally that blower will make more boost that I can use. We'll just have to dig into it when we get home."
The final round match up would pair Stott against Josh Hernandez. "Josh told me he owed me one," Stott said as Herndez recalled the Valdosta win Stott took two years earlier in another Stott, Hernandez final round. "That weak blower caught me with my pants down," Stott said. "You can bet we'll be back to give him a better run for the money."
The next stop for the LeeBoy Equipment team is the Motor City Nationals in Milan, Michigan, May 23-25.
