The cold and windy morning was vastly different than the conditions we've had all week here at Texas Motorplex, but the Bo Butner Racing team was undeterred and turned on win lights in both Super Gas and Stock! In a heads-up D/SA match with Matt Diamond, RL was .029 on the tree and powered her pretty little Pontiac to a 10.639 to defeat a .044 and 10.701. She advances to the fourth round on Saturday to meet with young Paul Stalba.
In the third round of Super Gas, Bo drove the Clark County Auto Auction/JBA roadster off the starting line with a .017 light next to his red-lighting opponent, and he'll be moving on to the fourth round and a match with Tony Deluzio.
It was awesome seeing our two-time world champ honored as a JEGS Allstar during prerace ceremonies later that day, and it got even better when he turned on the win light in the first round of the special event to Nathan Huber, who ran just a bit too quick on the 9.90 index. He's set to race Tim Powell in the second round of the three-round event.
Saturday should be a ton of fun, and the weather might be even cooler. Texas, what are you trying to do to us? It's anyone's race, and that's why we love it!
