Another Stellar Season for Quain Stott Drag Racing
DALLAS - For the second year in a row, Quain Stott put an exclamation point on the season ending ADRL event in Dallas. Stott piloted his 1963 LeeBoy Equipment split-window Corvette to the number 1 qualifying spot and raced his way into the final round. Stott fell short of victory by just .0215 seconds. His opponent Alex Hossler scored his first victory.
In semi-final action, Stott recorded a new personal best when he clocked in at the end of his eighth mile pass at 206.07 MPH (He also lowered his personal best e.t to 3.74 seconds the previous race in Rockingham). While Stott reeled off 3.7 second passes all through eliminations, he knows he let one get away in the final round. "Alex (Hossler) had been running strong all day," Stott said. "We stepped up the power for that final run. It was the right call, I just missed my shift point."
"I like driving the car - I like having my name on the side of the door," Stott chuckled. "Some of these cars should have the name of the electronics manufacture where the drivers name goes. I might lose a round here or there because I refuse to run all of those electronics, but if it says Quain Stott above the door - you can bet I'm driving it."
Stott's missed shift costs him shot at final round
RICHMOND, Va. -- Quain Stott is never at a loss for someone to blame when a mistake happens. His list is just short - there's only one name on it - his.
Stott took his LeeBoy Equipment Pro Extreme Corvette to its fourth semi-final finish in the past seven ADRL races. "The car was great all weekend," Stott explained. "It was just driver error - that's all I can say. I poked it into second gear at 8,200 RPMs - just driver error." Stott believes the short shift cost him at least .050 seconds of elapsed time - in a race that was decided by .030 seconds.
