Radial Final
LS Motors - LSX Shootout
Drag Radial Final
The stage was set for the best race of the weekend: Tom Kempf, who had battled through a wreck only days earlier and went 7.82 in the semis, and Paul Major, who went 7.94 in the semi bye run. Major's 427 was having problems over 20 pounds of boost so that's all they ran. Paul's tuner, Job Spetter of Turbo People, told us in the pits pre-final, "We're fighting lots of issues, Paul's lucky to have made it this far." After burnouts they staged up, and when the Pro Tree flashed, Kempf nailed a solid .054 light to jump ahead. Major was late with a .204 light, but his Vette pulled hard, and flew to a 7.89 at 180 mph. But there was no denying Kempf, as his Camaro took the win with a 7.87 at 183 miles an hour! Kempf was $3,000 and an LS7 crate engine richer, and Major was consoled with $1,500. Along with Tom's semi run against Wade Stevens, this was the second side-by-side 7-second LS drag race-and we have a feeling there will be many more!
