Mitchell Drops 3.74-Second Drag Radial Bomb!
Barry Mitchell, the Hamptonville, North Carolina, small-tire racing veteran who jumped head-first into the 2016 Outlaw Drag Radial wars with his supercharged 1969 Chevrolet Camaro, is now the quickest driver in the history of eighth-mile radial tire competition after posting a stunning 3.748 at 197.46 mph during testing for the 13th annual U. S. Street Nationals at Florida’ s Bradenton Motorsports Park.
Mitchell recorded a 3.790 three days earlier at Bradenton with which he gained entry to the Drag Illustrated Outlaw Drag
Radial Elapsed Time Top 8. Surprisingly, the beautiful black Camaro in a nine year-old Tim McAmis-built machine which was originally constructed for current Goodguys Series CEO Marc Meadors in 2008. The blown 521-inch Chevrolet powerplant is working with exceptional efficiency as shown by the surprisingly low 197 mph speeds.
Mitchell’ s pass marks a milestone for Drag Radial Eliminator which, in the past three seasons, advanced at a pace unseen in recent drag racing annals. Since Brad Edwards clocked the first three-second pass,( a 3.99 at Huntsville, Alabama, on November 2, 2014),
