Ross Cole had to battle back to score the of the Harbin’s Mechanical Services Street Outlaw win in week five O’Reilly Auto Parts Friday Night Drags action at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Cole had a slow start in the final, but was able to storm back to edge out Wayne Harris for the win on the AMS pit road drag strip.
“The car did something funny right off the line, but when it finally took off it was like it was on rails,” Cole said. “I’ve been tuning on it so I felt like once it got going it would go like a rocket.”
“You get to race in front of thousands of people, and most of them are people from your community,” Cole added. “That’s why I like coming here.”
Vincent Varela, whose 1979 Mazda RX-7 carried him to victory in the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Division, concurred, saying a win is sweeter when it’s shared.
“Family is what it’s all about,” Varela said. “Our whole family comes out because we love the sport.”
With a summer of racing ahead, Varela is hoping he and his family get to share many more wins and, ultimately, the division title.
“I want to win the whole thing,” Varela said with a smile. “I’m going for that championship.”
Other winners on the night included Kevin Mayo, who backed up his victory in the points opener with another win in the QuikTrip Pro Division final. In the AT&T Mobility Sport Compact Division, Amanda Brown propelled her 2012 Ford Mustang to the end of the 1/8 mile pit lane dragstrip ahead of Heather Utt, earning her first points-paying victory of 2019.
