Watch JR Pines Epic Bumper Dragging Round Win At Lights Out 8 – Lights Out 9 Continues Today

Today in Valdosta, Georgia Lights Out 9 No Escape continues. After a day of relatively tame testing yesterday teams will hammer the throttle and try to better their setups before starting qualifying efforts tonight. The real craziness of this race starts in qualifying because there are so many cars in each class that no one wants to be left outside the bump spot. Like the old days of the biggest races in the country, simply qualifying for this thing is an accomplishment for racers all over North America. The run you are about to watch is one of the most awesome I have ever seen in about two decades of drag race announcing. This was no qualifying pass, this was a legit round win!

Lights Out 8 was insanity. There are about 3,476 videos which have been published that are worth sharing with all of you as well because of things that were either mind boggling in terms of performance of mind boggling in terms of physics. This right here is one of them.

We have two angles of the same pass. One is from the guys at the Free Life Films YouTube Channel and the other is from CompetitionPlusTV also on YouTube. They capture racer JR Pines heading down the track against Andrew DeMarco who is driving his ProCharger equipped, small block Ford powered Mustang. DeMarco spins the tires early and Pines has his car hooked up and rolling to the point that it pulls a wheelie. When it lands and Pines gets back on the gas again, the thing really stands up and that’s when the magic happens.

One of the things you will hear at the end of the first video is my screaming about how he hit a block. At first glance and in real time it looked like he might have because of the fact that the orange blocks blew across the track. He did not hit anything, it was the wall of air coming off the back of the car that displaced the blocks and he advanced to the next round.

Today, the pressure and action ramps up again at SGMP. Tune into our link on the front page to watch Lights Out 9: No Escape!
