JAMES LAWRENCE WINS HIS 3RD NMCA RADIAL WARS RACE AT JOLIET

JOLIET, IL (JULY 29th, 2018) - James Lawrence and the Dragzine.com C7 crew have added yet another win to their 2018 NMCA season. Lawrence, the current NMCA Radial Wars points leader, came to the NMRA/NMCA Super Bowl with 2 wins under his belt year, one at Bradenton and the other at Bowling Green.

The Dragzine.com C7 Corvette is powered by a 548ci PLR Hemi with an F3-136 ProCharger, Billet Atomizer Injectors, and a FuelTech FT600 EFI System. 

Lawrence started off by qualifying #3 with a 3.93 at 192mph right behind #2 Marty Stinnett and #1 DeWayne Mills and the PLR-powered Golden Gorilla Camaro. During round 1 of eliminations, Lawrence ripped off the low ET of the event with a 3.88 at 193 mph vs Bill Houghton. E2 he faced Marty Stinnett in his freshly painted Mustang. The Dragzine.com Corvette ran a 3.91 at 192 to beat Stinnett's 3.98 at 191 mph.

In an all PLR-powered final round, Lawrence took the win light with a 3.89 at 192mph against DeWayne Mills who looked to be on a great pass but spun and aborted the run at half track.
