Kye Kelley ’ s brand-new , screw-blown ’ 84 Camaro may have been built for Street Outlaws : No Prep Kings competition , but it clearly works in PDRA Pro Boost trim as well . Kelley rolled into the PDRA Northern Nationals with the intention of testing his new Wizard Race Cars-built , Noonan-powered hot rod with tuner Jeff Pierce on the property . The Mississippi native accomplished that and then some , using a 3.709-second pass at 199.56 MPH to qualify No . 13 out of 17 cars in the Pro Boost field . He really turned heads in the opening round of eliminations when he used a holeshot advantage and a 3.715 at 202.25 to beat Randy Weatherford ’ s 3.678 . Kelley held his own against Travis “ The Carolina Kid ” Harvey in the second round , too , cutting a . 012 light to Harvey ’ s . 011 and running a 3.697 at 204.08 to come up a bit short to Harvey ’ s 3.658 .
