Lately the team over at AFCO Racing has been making lots of noise with their shock products in some of the hottest racing classes around, and that was definitely the case this past weekend at Duck X Productions‘ Lights Out V event held at South Georgia Motorsports Park despite the fact that rain tempered the event.

We’ve already reported on the bruising performance turned in by THE Kevin Mullins, who absolutely crushed the Outlaw Drag Radial record by running 4.117 at over 193 MPH during the qualifying sessions. Mullins qualified at the top of the class with his AFCO-equipped machine, which uses the company’s shocks that have been massaged by The Shock Nerd, Mark Menscer. Mullin’s Harrell Engine & Dyno-built, Hemi-powered twin-turbo Mustang went on to win in the first round of eliminations with another 4.11, but after waiting out a day full of rain on Sunday and track seepage on Monday, the event was called with no winner – although Mullins was clearly the car to beat.

Longtime AFCO user Mark Micke turned in a personal best in Jason Carter’s awesome blue Malibu. Also racing in the Radial Vs. The World class, Micke posted a 4.189 at 188.81 MPH to land third on the qualifying sheet entering eliminations of the 32-car field. Micke spun the tires and had to pedal the car in the first round of eliminations, going down to another Malibu owner, Mike Hupp, but has proven that he’s got one of the machines to beat in this incredibly-tough class. Micke has only been competing on the radial tire for a bit more than a year, so we expect to see even more killer performances from this team as they learn the big radial’s tendencies.

Mullins and Micke have both confirmed their attendance at this fall’s upcoming No Mercy IIIII event scheduled for the last weekend of September at SGMP – an event where we won’t be surprised to see 4.0 eighth-mile performances from either or both of these racers. It’s gonna be an exciting season!
