Jeremy Ortiz Leads Friday Results with ‘Lil Gangsta’s 5.30 No-Time Class Win, Big 3 Racing Puts Fours on the Board, and Seven Classes Get Qualifying Underway on Day Two of Sick On The Green!

Beginner’s luck is used to describe someone that rolls to success in a class, sport or otherwise contest with no experience in the class.

And although Sick Summer competitor Jeremy Ortiz would participate in his first ‘Lil Gangsta’s 5.30 No-Time class for the first time during Sick On The Green, his recent results label him as anything but a beginner or lucky.

Following a solid pair of outings where Ortiz captured an Extreme Radials class win at Muncie Dragway, then claimed the ‘biggest win of my racing career’ at Street Car Braggin Rights a couple weeks ago.

He came to Sick On The Green to do battle in the Street race 8.60 index class, and double down on the ‘Lil Gangsta’s class. “We didn’t have any data, so I ran the test and tune Thursday,” said Ortiz. “We had a game plan for Friday, and I just managed to execute well.
