Look back to the race report from three weeks ago and you’ll see the warning that Mary Reep was coming for you boys. Well here she was heading into her first OFAA final round against the defending 2011 Painless Performance Series Champion Jimmy Jones. Reep had the advantage on paper, but we all know drag races are settled on the strip.

As the cars backed up from their burnouts anxiety mounted as the expected side by side three second final was soon to become a reality, but those hopes were dismissed as the winner was declared on the starting line. As Reep crept into the final stage beam and increased the RPMs her trans-brake failed and she rolled through the beams. A split second later, Jones took the green light and despite shaking the tires, claimed his first win of the season with a 5.84 time slip. Not the result either team expected, but nonetheless a win for the “Texas Tremor” team who were undoubtedly deserving of their win, posting three solid passes to qualify in the top half of the field and make it to the final round.
