Yes my friends, the Renegades are running tonight at Piedmont Dragway. The defending champion is our very own Sandy Wilkins. As you may remember, the last time out, Sandy defeated good friend Stacy Hall of Chesnee, SC. The great thing about that race was, it contained two small blocks running on one system. The winning time for Sandy was 4.45 and Stacy ran a 4.46. Close competition. Their will be a ton of cars trying to get into a 16 car field. You need to go to this race if you are in the area tonight. A must see. Plus, Sandy could probably use the help.
No, this pic in not my new dragster. It is Steve and Brenda Corker's new American Race Cars dragster. It is a beauty. They received the Best Engineered Award at Coastal Plains Dragway a couple of weeks ago. We all know that Steve is the defending World Champion in Top Sportsma
n but he is also a winner in Quick Rod. Steve wanted to start out the new year with brand new equipment, thus the American Race Cars dragster. The second thing he did was order a brand new 565 ci big block chevy from Sandy Wilkins @ Wilkins Racing Engines. Now most hard core fans know Sandy Wilkins as a small block genus. He has taken his 432 ci small block with a power glide to a best of 6.74 @ 204 mph. With those credentials, surely he can produce with a big block. Well, Steve Corker's car ran a 4.82 @ 141 on it's maiden voyage, and then it was converted over to Quick Rod mode. Both Steve and Sandy were pleased with all the numbers from the first 565 produced by Wilkins Racing Engines. Not bad for a small block guy. If you are looking for an engine, Sandy can build you what ever you need, from a 432 small block, to a 565 big block, to a 700 cubic inch pro mod engine. He can do it all. Just ask Brian Williams, the winner from last month's Big Dog.

It is a 522 Par Racing Engine that I purchased from Scott Duggins new. I raced it in Quick Rod most of the time, but ran Top Dragster in the 1/8. It has run 4.90 @ 140 in the eighth and 8.90 @ 170 in the quarter. Because of my accident, I would like to sell this engine to help off set some medical expenses. My firm asking price is 8 grand. If you are not interested in the engine, you can buy me a dragster to put it in when I get better. Now that's a plan. Just contact Sandy if you are interested. Thanks!
