Meadors’ Runner-up Finish Sets the Stage for Exciting Goodguys Racing Season
Pleasanton, CA – From the minute Marc Meadors and the Goodguys Racing ’69 Camaro Pro Mod rolled off the trailer at last weekend’s PSCA Record Breaker Nationals at the Strip at The Strip @ Las Vegas Motor Speedway, it was quite clear who they had to beat; Mike Maggio and his “MagCo”1970 Camaro.
As the weekend event unfolded, Meadors and Maggio were nearly inseparable, qualifying #1 and #2 respectively in the Pro Street division. As eliminations progressed, the two inched towards each other on opposite sides of the elimination ladder, setting up a winner-take-all-final; a battle which Maggio ultimately won. But not by much as Meadors’ valiant and quicker 5.963 lost out to the winner’s 5.971 – the win coming from a red-lighting Meadors. “It could have been an epic final, but I left too soon said a disappointed Meadors.”
Both teams will be major players in this year’s West Coast Outlaw Pro Mod Association events which kick off May 25th & 26th at Rocky Mountain Raceway in Salt Lake City, Utah. “We ran stout the entire Vegas weekend rolling off the trailer with a 5.964 @ 246 mph” Meadors said. “We battled through electrical issues and worked our tails off. All you can ask for is a shot at the win and if I had waited for the light, we would have taken it all. We’re happy but determined to win next time out.” Crew members Jason Bunker, Danny Miller and Billy Ferreira were proud of the years’ first outing stating “we have a real fast and very consistent race car we can win with.”
Racing at the same event as his fast father was 9 year old Grant Meadors. The young racer had a brilliant .007 reaction time in his Junior Dragster but was ultimately disqualified from eliminations for running too quick under the class index. Having a hard time understanding why he was disqualified for running “too quick” in a drag race, Grant shook it off and like his father, vowed to return with a vengeance.
