May 28 - 30, 2004 - IHRA Drag Review - Green Light Gang, story by Jeanne Gendreau
Junior Advanced - Winner Dylan Lee from Austin, Texas met Ayrton Gerthe of Rockdale, Texas in the final round. Lee lit the green with a .076 RT and ran 9.13 on his 9.08 dial to runner-up Ayrton Gerthe's .214 RT, 8.95 on an 8.95 dial. Lisa Gerthe said, "Although Ayrton ran his number, Dylan displayed his usual consistency at the tree, no doubt he's been taking lessons from his father, Tim Lee, and Dylan won with his light. As any driver in Division 4 will verify, any time you are paired up against a member of the "Asleep at the Wheel Race Team" you'd better be on your game and definitely not "asleep at the tree!" Lee drives a Racer Pops Dominator with a Blockzilla engine. He thanks his parents Tim and Judy Lee, San Antonio Raceway, Northside Collision, Premier Custom Homes and www. jrdrags.com. Lisa said, "Thank to Johnny and all the folks at RCI for their support. Also, a big thanks to Tim and Judy Lee for setting up the shade for Alesi and Ayrton to use while waiting for us to tow them back to our trailer after runs. Thank you Kim, Cindy and Heather Shapley, Rusty, Zack and Cody Kagels, Luther and Justin Cox, Kurt, Angela and Daniel Baughman for making a very long and extremely hot weekend a pleasant memory."
