Renegade Winner!!!!!!!!!!





That's right. Flea Dog is a winner in the Renegade series at Piedmont Dragway for the second time this year. In the final, he took on Tim Lawrence in his new Camaro. Sandy was .002 on the tree and out run Tim on a hole shot. 4.45 to his 4.44 Excellent way to end the night.
The first round did not start the best. It was a win for Sandy, but his opponent Jay Zimmerman shook the tires hard and ended up in the wall. From what I was told he will need a new front end and maybe a gas tank and radiator. Jay and his team are good friends and we hope it doesn't take them long to get back to the track. Second round Sandy beat Doc Bilbrey and in the semi's he got past good friend Stacy Hall. Sandy's car performed flawlessly during the two days at Piedmont and that can only be attributed to the help. That was Brian King, Herb McCandless Jr, Jack Anderson and his son Kyle and Keri Arthur.

I do not have a winner's circle photo yet, but I do have a pic of the check he received from the last win. $1500.00 doesn't seem like a lot of money to win when you think of the investment that he has. But most racers don't think about the money. They would love to get more, but when you get the win and the trophy, that's is the fun. Especially when you do it with a bad ass small block. Remember, do what you love and the money will come.
