Watson,who left us to soon, was a tough, hard charging footbraker himself. But more than that, he was a true racer. Always the first to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it.
In the Top ET class, Big Jim Bo Sells took his classic Barracuda to the winners circle once again, a place Sells is becoming used to. Sells defeated one of the best young talents in bracket racing, Ernie Humes and his Mopar Demon.
In the main event, “Fat Boy” Ricky Greer and his lethal Chevy Luv, drove passed dozens of racers to take the easy win when Tom Hettig and his classic Nova started to soon and turned on the red light.
“Me and Tom had many battles on the track over the years said Greer. I’m glad his wife Lisa and daughter Allissa are keeping his memory alive like this! I’m proud to be the winner!”
Next week here at Wilkesboro Dragway, the Outlaws invade Wilkes County!
