JOHN RUSSO 5.991 @ 240.8 mph
John Russo made the long trek from Middleton, Mass., a worthwhile endeavor by recording his best package of the day to defeat Troy Critchley.
Russo was the quicker of the two leaving the starting line and that made all the difference in Critchley’s decision to abort his run at half-track. His winning elapsed time of 6.055 seconds was just .003 quicker than his qualifying effort.
Russo's The Man -- Massachusetts racer John Russo, who had the second-quickest time Saturday, was paired against Troy Critchley in the unnamed competition in front of the crowd that filled up about 60 percent of the grandstands at South Georgia Motorsports Park. And in his unadorned red Vanishing Point car with Al Billes horsepower underneath -- in this car which used to carry the name "The Dragonslayer" -- Russo won the eagle-festooned trophy and bragging rights for knocking off the Australian who had just set the unofficial North American speed record for the class.
It was Russo's first victory, except for a local event at New England Dragway in Epping, New Hampshire. "This is unbelievably exciting!" he said, as he celebrated with wife Sue. "What a way to kick off a racing season!
"I had no expectations running here this weekend in this show," Russo said. "With a new Al Billes motor program, we weren't quite ready to run it out. We kept going in the middle of the day . We made a good run, a 6.30 (-second elapsed time). Finally we stepped it up. We ran a 6.05. That was good for No. 2 (ranking of all the cars in his class). And here in the finals, we ran another 6.05."
He called his Jim Geese-built '68 Camaro "the best car on the planet."
