Race Results

The sound of the Briggs motors substitutes the howl of the high-revving 2 strokes with the deep growl of a 4 stroke, augmented with the aroma of methanol.  Minimizing every bit of drag possible, most of these cars have a formed fiberglass front cowling, that while it won't add much speed at most tracks, can be built to look very sharp.

Billy Dickson is no stranger to the Rock, and with names like Gary Lawson, Eric Garland, or the winning-est driver Jason Birdsell on the same field, taking home a Rock was a wonderful way for Billy to conclude his weekend.
