Evans and Kasper in the winners circle again at Cecil County

This past Saturday was a hot one for the fans but the competition was heating up that much more. The Outlaw Street Car Shootout once again brought in some heavy hitters for the monthly race program and with the fences lines with spectators the show was on. This season has seen two classes shine through as Outlaw 10.5 has been packed with fierce competition and 275 Drag Radial gets better with every race as the season wears on.  But once again there was a familiar group in the winners circle when the racing was done at the end of the day.

Chris Evans may just be the most sought after target in the northeastern United States for 275 Drag Radial cars. His Mustang that has been given the nickname “Big Green” has stacked up plenty of green this season so far. Chris along with tuner Matt Butrim have a real handle on the car and with the help of a Procharger, their small block Ford is at the front of the pack.  Nine cars lined up to try and gain the number one spot in qualifying but it was Evans who prevailed in the heat to gain his familiar place atop the ladder. Chris’ car was on rails with consistent times in each round to reach the finals versus Frank Fullbrook. Fullbrook was first off the line and was making a great pass but the power of Evans’ small block turned on and come around for the win. His 5.10 would have been good enough to bracket race as he ran 5.10, 5.12, 5.11 on his previous runs.

Outlaw 10.5 is proving it is anything but dead at Cecil County as the Kasper crew seems to be running away with things so far this season. The Kasper team which is headed up by Gil Christy really stepped up their game over the last year with the purchase of two of the very best cars in the country from Grant McCrary and Tim Lynch. T.J. Kasper is the younger of the Kasper duo and strives to be as good as his dad or even better at the rate he is going. Driving the old Tim Lynch Proline Mustang, he has racked up several wins this season and Saturday was no different.  T.J. held the number one spot through qualifying and would have to work hard to get by the competition. The closest race of the day would be against Scott Gudagno in the semi-finals as Kasper relied on a hole shot win over the nitrous machine of Gudagno who ran a quicker 4.43 elapsed time to Kapsers 4.44. That would place T.J. up against his father Tom in the final for the second straight month. Father would leave in son but the kid would turn on the big horsepower to outrun his elder Kasper for another victory at Cecil County Dragway.
