While Pro Modified is the headlining class at the Drag Illustrated Winter Series presented by J&A Service, the True 10.5 No-Time teams are doing their best to steal a bit of the spotlight at the upcoming Snowbird Outlaw Nationals, Dec. 5-7 at Bradenton Motorsports Park.<\/p>\n

Over the course of the Thanksgiving holiday, class promoters Tom Gunner \u2013 better known as Jimmy Dale \u2013 and Michael Poland announced a smorgasbord of grudge matches set for Friday and Saturday during qualifying.<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since creating Lil Gangsta\u2019s, Michael Poland and I have been focused on figuring out where we were going next,\u201d said Gunner. \u201cWith help from Wes Buck and Barrett Green, we came up with the new True 10.5. We feel like Lil Gangsta\u2019s is successful because so many people feel competitive, and we hope to duplicate that success with True 10.5.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs racers, we always hear the tire is the equalizer,\u201d Gunner continued. \u201cWhile that can be true, 275 N\/T radial has become a high-stakes class with sometimes up to half a second between front runners and first-round ducks. By changing that tire to a 28\u00d710.5 slick and not allowing radials or Pro Mod-bodied cars, this class will have parity that\u2019s never been seen without weights involved. We\u2019ve spoken to all 32 locked-in racers, and the margin from the fastest to the slowest is a tenth of a second. That\u2019s something we are proud of.\u201d<\/p>\n

Headlining the matchups on Friday night is a battle between veterans Lyle Barnett and Larry Larson. Barnett, driving the Salvage Title Mustang owned by Tommy Youmans, will be looking for a bit of payback against Larson and his \u201966 Chevy II. Larson narrowly beat Barnett by just .004 earlier this year at the $75,000 King of the South small-tire invitational at Shadyside Dragway in Shelby, N.C.<\/p>\n

\u201cOl\u2019 Larry nipped me .004 in the final at King of the South, and I want some get back!\u201d Barnett posted on social media. \u201cHarts Charger on Harts Charger crime Friday night! Pick one and ride!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Outlaw Armageddon double champion (Small Tire and High-Roller Small Tire) Chase Womack is doubling up again in Bradenton, locking in huge grudge races on both Friday and Saturday. Womack, piloting his ProCharger-equipped, Hemi-powered Firebird, will take on Joey Rabiola and the Boost12 Mustang on Friday, and line up against Russell Stone\u2019s screw-blown \u201cBlack Widow\u201d Camaro on Saturday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cGood luck to both those fellas,\u201d Womack said of his opponents. \u201cWe\u2019ve got nothing but respect for the other drivers. They\u2019ve been holding it down in 28\u00d710.5 for a long time and have the wins to back it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m bringing a Procharged Hemi with a little nitrous \u2013 just enough to keep it interesting,\u201d continued Womack. \u201cI might be the new guy in the mix, but don\u2019t let \u2018new\u2019 get confused with anything else. We\u2019ll be tough \u2013 there\u2019s no reason to show up if you don\u2019t think you can win. Still, it\u2019s an honor to line up with these killers. No matter how it shakes out, it\u2019s gonna be a show.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Preston Bros. \u2013 Isaac and Adam \u2013 are both getting into the grudge action as well. Adam will be piloting the team\u2019s orange Corvette against former No Prep Kings star Scott Taylor and his \u201cLil Goldie\u201d \u201969 Camaro, while Isaac will run their infamous \u201cFrankenstein\u201d \u2018Vette against Craig Pachar and the Triangle Speed Shop\u2019s newly upgraded Mustang, \u201cSlimer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s see if this ol\u2019 small block will hang with that big Hemi,\u201d Isaac Preston said on social media regarding his matchup. \u201cAdam said he wanted action too. We got two fast hot rods, let\u2019s see if we can put them to work!\u201d<\/p>\n

Other big-time matchups on Friday night include Ryan Martin vs. Memphis Raines, Ryan Mitchell vs. Billy Hoskinson, \u201cDominator\u201d Joe Woods vs. Ryan Hendrickson, Brandon James vs. Taylor Strange, and Brandon Sandlian in the Junkyard Studebaker vs. Corey Reed in Manny Buginga\u2019s Mustang, \u201cFreddy.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Poland says that fans heading to Bradenton should be ready to witness an all-out battle of heavyweights, as he and Gunner have worked tirelessly to bring about a main-event worthy group of drivers.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve come up with as list of guys from all forms of drag racing \u2013 radial, street, no prep, grudge \u2013 and combined them all together,\u201d said Poland. \u201cAll 32 drivers are coming to Snowbirds with 100% confidence they can win. With 32 killers in a cage, it took one driver to swing and we had an all-out brawl of grudge races break out. Everything fans have seen thus far is locked in for Friday and Saturday, and Sunday [eliminations] are going to be insane!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
