Twenty-three year old phenom Lindsey Wood added to her impressive racing resume last weekend with a Super Comp victory at the NHRA LODRS event at No Problem Raceway in Belle Rose, LA. For Wood, it was her second consecutive LODRS win at the Louisiana facility, as she captured the event title last season in Top Alcohol Dragster. A final round triumph over former NHRA World Champion Tommy Costales marked Wood’s ninth consecutive round win at the facility between the two classes.

Lindsey Wood, a young woman from McAlpin, FL, started her racing career in the Junior Dragster ranks thirteen years ago. In her tenure in junior dragster competition, she amassed one of the most impressive records in the history of the class, including 57 bracket and index wins and 17 heads-up triumphs. In 2003 she made the move to Super Comp competition, and continued her success and growth as a competitor over the next three seasons. In the 8.90 class, she captured a Gator Nationals title, a handful of divisional victories, and earned a top ten national finish in the ultra-competitive NHRA Super Comp ranks. Last season, Wood jumped at the opportunity to team with the Darien & Meadows A/Fuel Dragster team and ran a full Top Alcohol Dragster schedule. While Lindsey and the team enjoyed flashes of brilliance, including the ‘07 No Problem LODRS victory, the team struggled for much of the season, and the partnership dissolved.

While Lindsey and her family are in the midst of negotiations and dealings with a handful of potential teams and sponsors in various classes of competition, Lindsey’s main focus for 2008 has turned back to the Super Comp category. In Belle Rose, she once again proved that she is a force to be reckoned with in her CSR Performance Products, K&N Engineering backed Undercover Dragster.

Lindsey started the day by knocking off recent national event winner Bart Nelson in the opening frame, and dispensed of former Jeg’s All-Stars competitor Doug Miller in round two. Then, she ended the day by getting the better of two former world champions; Britt Cummings in the semi-final round and Tommy Costales in the final.

“This is really a great feeling, to get a win in Super Comp again,” said Wood. “The last year has been really hectic, and it’s been an eye-opening experience for me. We’ve had a lot of talks with teams and potential sponsors to run everything from A/Fuel again to Pro Stock, and I’m not going to rule out anything. But right now I’m really content to compete in the sportsman ranks and race with my family. This weekend was a lot of fun.”
