(Photos by the\u00a0Author) –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>It is the most arduous, weird, wild, awesome, and out of control drag race that I attend every year. There are so many people and so many cars wedged into South Georgia Motorsports Park that movement is hard. There’s so much action on the track that it is tough to escape from the timing tower to even get out to see it. Thankfully at one point on Friday I was able to peel off and walk the pits to meet racers, get information, and take photos of some of the machines that were on the property, hammering the drag strip.<\/p>\n

The car in the lead photo belongs to Jay Boddie who hauled all the way out from San Francisco, California to compete. Awesomely, he was not the longer hauler, either. Teams from Oregon, British Columbia, and other points north made the trip as well.<\/p>\n

By now we’re sure you have heard that Stevie Fast Jackson won the $50,000 Radial vs The World category and did so during a dramatic final against Keith Haney. It was one for the books. We’ll be back with some bad ass photography from this race. Our pal Randy McCuddy is going to hook us up. For now, here’s a look into the fun, the chaos, and the craziness of Lights Out 9. There’s more to come!<\/p>\n
