THE LIST WITNESSED THE REMATCH
(June 22, 2015 Mark Cathell)Â "BIG PUN" aka....THE MAYOR - TAKII SMITH still leads the LIST pack going into week 12. This past Friday Night brought nothing but the BEST for LIST racers and Fans!!
The night started out, with the CALL OUT of #7 Papi Guzman looking for #6 Antoine Jones. Team Yota with it's new combination came ready for battle. Both drivers, left the line hard but Lisa Ray showed her power and crossed the stripe about 2 car lengths ahead of Team Yota. Jones & "Lisa Ray" retained their number #6 position.
3 Barney Bowen in the "Blue Ice" called out # 4 Lance White in the "No Piggy" mustang. White did not make the call due to prior commitments giving the # 3 position to Bowen. Also, # 10 Jamar Hollingsworth CALLED OUT #9 Sal Patel on Friday night. Patel is still down with mechanical breakage and has given up the # 9 position to Hollingsworth.
Just when fans thought the night was over! The "CALL OUT" came to the tower! REMATCH was the word!!
#5 "The Hulk" and Ballard Boyz Racing wanted to seek revenge against the #6 car "Lisa Ray" and Slaughter House Racing driven by Antoine Jones. The two "Camps" agreed to run and so following third round of Super ET, the cars made their way to the starting line.
The instant green on the tree, witnessed both cars leaving side by side! At the 300' mark, Tim Ballard driving "The Hulk" had approximately a half car length lead but started to experience a slight tire shake. Jones would have issues of his own in the right lane. "Lisa Ray" Chevy II tried to drive towards the guardrail, Jones would wheel the Chevy II back and kick it into high gear. From the 500' mark on, both cars showed their power and at the stripe.........It would be...... Jones & "Lisa Ray" by only a fender!
The crowd at the U.S. 13 Dragway went "WILD" as they experienced one of the BEST side by side LIST races of the year!
Afterwards, we spoke with both teams and drivers, they acknowledged this was one of the best races to date. The Ballard Boyz accepted the loss showing nothing but great sportsmanship. Team Slaughter House will now set their eyes on the number 4 team of "No Piggy" racing and Lance White.
Will there be a "Call Out" this week?? Stay tuned LIST fans....It's only Monday but we have a feeling...Something will happen!
