The young guns continue to dominate the resurgence of Outlaw 10.5 at Cecil County Dragway’s monthly Strange Engineering Outlaw Street Car Shootout Series. Multi-time PDRA Pro Street winner Ty Kasper was the latest winner at the heat-delayed July edition on July 11 when he defeated 2023 PDRA Pro Street world champion Bill Riddle in the final round. Kasper is now the second winner in the series, joining 2024 WSOPM Pro 10.5 winner “Quick” Nick Schroeder, who won the first two races.
Driving his twin-turbocharged Boost Gangster/Victus Sports Mustang , Kasper was unopposed in the first round when Eric Pagliugi couldn’t make the call. He ran a 4.224 at 152.74 mph on his way to the semifinals, where he ended up with the ladder bye run. He lifted to a 7.509. In the final against Riddle, Kasper unleashed a .006 reaction time and raced to a 4.273 at 158.00 to defeat Riddle and his 4.474 at 138.26.
“It was a very rewarding win with all the work we’ve done,” Kasper said, referencing sweeping changes the team made over the offseason. “It’s always a struggle to run these turbo cars compared to other combos. A lot of people are steering away from them, so this win is great because it shows turbo cars are still just as fast. All the work we’ve done in a short period of time and it paying off is always a great feeling. I want to thank everyone who has helped this program, especially my dad [Tom] and brother [TJ].”
As the No. 1 qualifier, Riddle earned a first-round bye. Despite the freebie, he threw down a 3.976 at 187.94, following up on the 3.955 he posted to qualify No. 1. Schroeder’s win streak came to an end in the semifinals when he went red by .014 next to Riddle, who was consistent with his 3.988 at 187.63 to earn lane choice in the final.
After several years away from the track known as “The Pond,” Outlaw 10.5 returned this season for the Strange Engineering Outlaw Street Car Shootout Series. The class that once called Cecil County its unofficial home joined the lineup that also features Pro 275, Limited Drag Radial, Ultra Street, Top Sportsman, 8.50 Index, Super Street, Pro Street, 10.00 Index, 11.50 Index, and Pro Dial.
“Racing back at Cecil has been a blast,” Kasper said. “I can’t thank Jim Halsey and the entire Cecil staff enough for the opportunity. “From racing Jr. Dragsters there to watching my dad and brother race 10.5, having that chance to do that now is amazing.”
The next SCSO race is scheduled for July 31-August 1.
