For the second time this season, Switzer Dynamics Pro Nitrous veteran Jay Cox drove his Butner Construction “Pumpkin” ’69 Camaro to the No. 1 spot to end Professional Drag Racers Association (PDRA) Friday qualifying.
The North Carolina native recorded a 3.643-second pass at 206.61 MPH at the Northern Nationals presented by Talbert Manufacturing at U.S. 131 Motorsports Park to secure the No. 1 spot.
Hard work over the course of the season and over the last couple days paid off for Jay Cox, who took his Musi-powered Butner Construction “Pumpkin” ’69 Camaro to the No. 1 spot in Pro Nitrous. The perennial contender boasted a 3.643 at 206.61 in the final session to claim the top spot. He also earned the Structural Concrete Nitrous Wars engine builder challenge win over a red-lighting Jim Halsey, who ran a 3.65 at 206.90 to qualify No. 2.
Cox and his Smithfield, North Carolina-based team were put to the test earlier in the weekend when a broken axle threatened to end their weekend after testing. The Butner Construction team worked through the night to get the “Pumpkin” back in winning condition.
“Marcus [Butner] had his guys drive up a whole entire rear end [from North Carolina],” Cox said. “We’re short-handed this weekend. We worked about 13 hours on this thing last night, never went to bed, and put everything up under the back of it brand-new. It speaks volumes to my guys, man. They don’t get enough credit.”
The Fuel injection, Ignition and Nitrous systems are all controlled by the EFI Technology R8 ECU System.
