First Winner Crowned at SFG-FTI World Series of Bracket Racing

SFG Crowns Garcia as $10,000 Opening Race Winner at SFG-FTI World Series of Bracket Racing; Thursday Cancelled for Weather

ADEL, GA-  After battling weather delays, the diligent SFG Promotions team was able to crown its first of five winners this week at the SFG-FTI World Series of Bracket Racing at South Georgia Motorsports Park: Jesse Garcia.

Garcia defeated Lester Adkins in the final round to take home the $10,000 winners check in a race that was free to every competitor who pre entered the event. Perhaps most impressive about Garcia’s feat was that he accomplished it without a delay box. 

Before Garcia was crowned the winner, five fierce competitors remained in the eighth round (quarterfinals) of competition including Matt Dadas, Bill Swain, Dale Thaxton, Adkins and Garcia.

Quarterfinals:

With three door cars and two dragsters left in the quarters, Thaxton took the bye-run on the door car side of the ladder. 

To make his way to the finals, Garcia defeated Dadas with a .025 reaction-time and 6.678 run on a 6.67 dial-in after Dadas was -.002 red.

To close out the round, Adkins posted a .015 reaction-time and 4.648 run on a 4.64 dial-in to defeat Swain who red lit by .010 seconds.

Semifinals:

In the round of three, no deals or splits were made and Garcia received the coveted bye-run to the finals. On the other side of the ladder, Adkins won in a less than spectacular race after Thaxton broke and never left the starting line. Adkins was still a respectable .012 on the tree before slowing to a 4.669 on his 4.64 dial-in. 

Finals:

In the final round, Garcia masterfully dropped to a dead-on 6.676 run on his 6.67 dial-in while Adkins was also dead-on beside him, running 4.648 on a 4.64 dial-in. After Garcia had a decisive advantage on the starting line, the bottom bulb racer drove his way to a late night victory in South Georgia.

The SFG-FTI World Series of Bracket Racing was planned to continue this morning with round one of the race for a 32 ft. Vintage trailer until rain forced the cancellation of Thursday’s events. SFG will continue on with the event Friday morning with the JEGS $50,000-to-win main event. 

Thursday’s FuelTech $20,000-to-win event will be combined with Hansen Global’s on Saturday for a $40,000-to-win event: racers can enter all three of these events at the gate for $550. Contingency plans for Wednesday’s Vintage trailer race will be announced Friday. 

Live Motormania TV will be available on SFG & MotorMania FaceBook and YouTube pages and at MotorManiaTV.com.

ABOUT SFG PROMOTIONS, INC: SFG is the brainchild of racer and promoter, Kyle Riley. “I had a vision to offer racers the chance to race for big money that the average racer could not afford, but I give God all the credit for the idea because it was sent from God,” states Riley (SFG stands for Sent From God). Riley adds, “until SFG came about, your average racer couldn’t afford the chance to run for $50k or $100k because it was out of their price range.

I wanted your everyday bracket racer to know what it feels like to stage up for that kind of money. A lot of people think I’m crazy, but I’ve always felt it’s better to give than to receive. The racers have really supported SFG in its first years, so I want to show them that I really appreciate their support so I raised the payouts and lowered the entry fees. Everyone will see the better SFG does the more the racer will benefit from our success.”
