OLE LIL’ HEAVY Chocowinity, North Carolina’s Thurman Braxton jumps off the starting line in his ‘39 Dodge pickup truck appropriately known as “Ole Lil’ Heavy”. Entered in Open Comp at Lights Out 9: No Escape, Braxton’s truck qualified solidly in the field on the strength of passes well under the six-second mark. Aside from solid performances on the track, it’s an eye- catching hot rod breaking up a sea of classic and late model muscle cars.
