COLUMBUS, N.C. (April 24, 2008) - Quain Stott found some additional horsepower on his LeeBoy Equipment 1963 split-widow Corvette this past week during the IHRA Spring Nationals in Rockingham. The additional boost would give Stott an needed edge to propel the former World Champion into the top half of the field.
"There was five of us all packed together with 6.11s going into the final round of qualifying," Stott said. "I knew we were going to have to turn it up a notch if we were going to qualify well."
The 6.095 that Stott's LeeBoy team registered Saturday night would be good enough to place them in the number eight position. "With the Sportsman ladder that we run over here in IHRA the #8 spot is not a bad place to be," Stott continued.
Stott would save his best run of the event for the opening round of eliminations on Sunday. The 6.055 was the second best elapsed time of the opening round. Event winner Kenny Lang would post a slightly better mark in round one and again in the semi-final round.
"I'm pretty happy with the horsepower we found over the winter in the Fulton Racing engine," Stott said. "We've got 25 more pounds strapped on us this year and we were still able to run within a hundredth of our best time last season (6.040 at the fall Rockingham event). We're OK. Don't count us out just yet."
The next stop for the LeeBoy Equipment team is the Motor City Nationals in Milan, Michigan, May 23-25.
