DAVID VS. GOLIATH A sea of black-hoodied crew members, tuners, drivers and spectators watch as David Reese (left lane) takes on Stevie “Fast” Jackson in the Lights Out 11 Radial vs. the World final round. Reese and his new self-built Camaro with its Reher-Morrison-developed small-block Chevy powerplant were stunning all weekend, consistently resetting the small-block world record. Jackson went into the matchup as a considerable favorite, though. Sure enough, it was Goliath winning in this version of the story, as Jackson drove around Reese’s holeshot advantage and laid up a 3.548 to Reese’s 3.594.
