Going into last weekend's Southern Outlaw Tour event at Montgomery Motorsports Park, Paul Gibbs said he was viewing the event primarily as test session to get ready for the Central Alabama pro-mod series he will run this year -- but if he made the SOT field, great.
The Beast was on the bubble after two rounds of qualifying with a 4.36, and couldn't improve on that and was bumped from the field. The team is still chasing the setup with the new automatic transmission, but was happy to see that the transmission leaks that were common last year have now been stopped. Also, the car's "lazy" 60-foot times indicated the engine was too lean, Paul said.
The Central Alabama series involves racing at two tracks -- Lassiter Mountain and Woodstock -- on consecutive days, and starts April 5.
