Duck X Productions’ Summit Racing Equipment No Mercy 16 – United We Stand is set to take over South Georgia Motorsports Park (SGMP) this week, October 9-12, with another can’t-miss weekend of small-tire drag racing. The long-running No Mercy event is known for delivering some of the most intense radial-tire action in the world, and this year’s edition promises to uphold that legacy with big money, big personalities, and plenty of high-horsepower chaos.
The event’s stacked lineup of classes includes the $30,000-to-win PTC and FuelTech Radial vs. the World, $20,000-to-win UPR Products and ProCharger Pro 275, $10,000-to-win TRZ Motorsports and Energy Manufacturing Limited Drag Radial (LDR), and $10,000-to-win Precision Turbo, Callies, and Mac Fab X275. The Bennett Racing Engines and Trick Flow Ultra Street competitors will battle for $5,000, while Limited Street 235 racers will chase $2,500. The weekend will also feature 6.00 Index and Open Comp action, along with Lil Gangstas, Duck X Productions N/T Outlaw 275, ASAG, and N/T Pro Truck competition.
Testing has been underway at SGMP since Monday, with qualifying set to begin Wednesday at 4 p.m. and continue Thursday at 4 p.m. Friday will see two more qualifying sessions starting at 11 a.m., with a potential final qualifier scheduled for Saturday before eliminations kick off. Sunday will see champions crowned across the board.
Storylines are already brewing ahead of the weekend. Ken Quartuccio, the 2025 Lights Out winner and inaugural Drag Illustrated Winter Series champion, will look to extend his hot streak with another Radial vs. the World victory on the same SGMP surface where he stunned fans with his 3.473-second RVW blast at Lights Out. Pro Boost standout Robert Davis is set to make his RVW debut with a screw-blown Camaro, adding fresh intrigue to the field. Paolo Giust, who battled Ken Q for the record and the Lights Out win in February, is back to try again in his Evan Salemi-tuned “Black Betty” ’69 Camaro.
In Pro 275, Lights Out winner Brad Edwards hopes to repeat his recent success, but he’ll face tough opposition from Australian points leader Grantley Schloss and reigning Radial Outlaws Pro 275 champion Mo Hall, who’s bringing his nitrous-fed Corvette to challenge the boosted combinations.
From the world’s quickest small-tire cars to the fierce grassroots index and street-style classes, No Mercy 16 will once again showcase the diversity and passion that define Duck X Productions’ flagship events. Fans unable to make the trip to Valdosta can catch every qualifying session and elimination round live on FloRacing.com.
