Daddy Dave Testing Goliath 2.0 at Lights Out 8

Daddy Dave took the leap and bolted up a pair of sticky Mickey Thompson drag radials on Goliath 2.0, his ProCharged 1963 Chevy II and headed to Duck X Productions’ Lights Out 8, the biggest radial tire race in the nation.

Competing in the Outlaw Drag Radial class, Dave quickly got up to speed on small tires, ripping off a trio of 4.21 elapsed times to set the mark for the class in qualifying. He would go on to enter eliminations as the favorite, but a first-round redlight ended his weekend prematurely.

Check out this video below, where Daddy Dave made a hit in pre-race testing while working on refining the tuneup for the small tire extravaganza.

With such quick success, we hope to see Dave head back to Georgia in the fall for Lights Out’s late-season twin, No Mercy. Maybe he can keep his reaction time on the positive side of green and go a few rounds next time!
