Sweet Home High School senior Devon Dixon is leading a six-man field in high school drag racing at the Woodburn Dragstrip.
So far, he has completed four of five high school competitions.
After three successful races, he ran into problems with his truck July 9, starting too fast on the launch – by .22 seconds.
“It didn’t go as planned,” Dixon said. “I kind of had some mechanical issues with the truck.”
