Donald Long’s Duck X Productions events always provide some big moments, but No Mercy 15 might have been the most action-packed event yet. This race featured the make-up points race for the Nocturnal Nationals, and was the season finale for the Radial Outlaw Racing Series (RORS). Every run mattered, making No Mercy 15 a small tire spectacle.
No Mercy took on an entirely different look since qualifying was being used to take care of the RORS Nocturnal Nationals event. This completely changed how the teams who were chasing a RORS championship approached qualifying. Instead of just racing the track, now each qualifying round was a real race if you kept winning. It added a big twist and made things more exciting at No Mercy.
The two fastest RORS classes didn’t disappoint during the race-within-a-race at No Mercy. Radial vs The World (RVW) standout Ken Quartuccio took advantage of the stellar conditions to grab the number two qualifying spot and win the Nocturnal Nationals. Jason Collins drove the Scott Tidwell-owned Camaro to the Pro 275 title for the Nocturnal Nationals, and also secured the number two qualifying spot for No Mercy.
Limited Drag Radial (LDR), X275, and Ultra Street each had a lot riding on the Nocturnal Nationals results. The points battles were all very tight coming into No Mercy, so racers in these classes were ready to throw down to get every point possible. In LDR, Kenny Hubbard picked up the Nocturnal Nationals win to set up an epic battle during No Mercy for the RORS title. Eric LaFerriere ripped through eliminations for the Nocturnal Nationals and earned a spot in the winner’s circle. Jessie Coulter won the Ultra Street title and used those points to set up a Saturday night showdown for the overall RORS championship.
Once the Nocturnal Nationals were settled, it was time to focus on No Mercy and how the points battles would shake out. The RORS has used a double points system for the final event each year. This makes the final event more interesting and opens up who can win a championship.
