HAMILTON
DOMINATES THE ROCK’S
IDBL WORLD FINALS
Fog Forces Four to
Split the Big Money;
Litten, Teasley
Among Other Winners
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. –
The only thing able
to stop an
indomitable Dale
Hamilton during the
International Drag
Bike League World
Finals at Rockingham
Dragway was Sunday
night fog so thick
that it obscured the
Christmas Tree
starting system and
forced the
cancelation of the
final seven races of
the show.
Hamilton was one of
four two-wheel
bracket racers still
in contention for a
$10,000 winner’s
purse in Sunday’s
feature event when
the weather
intervened.
As a result, the
Mount Airy, Md.,
rider had to settle
for splitting the
winner, runner-up
and semifinal money
with three others
including his
brother Kevin. The
other two sharing in
the bounty were Matt
Davies of
Petersburg, Va., and
Luis Reyes of San
Juan, Puerto Rico.
Otherwise, it was
all Dale
Hamilton-all-the-time
at The Rock. The
Maryland rider won
Pro ET on Friday,
won Pro ET on
Saturday and won the
Pro ET Tournament of
Champions on
Sunday. That,
coupled with his
performance in the
$10,000 race, would
have earned him the
MVP award, hands
down.
Other winners
included Ehren
Litten of Louisburg,
who won Sunday’s Pro
Street title after
many-time MIRock
Superbike Champion
Rodney Williford of
Rougemont prevailed
on Saturday; Boo
Brown of Potomac,
Md., who won the
4.60 class beating
Tim Shelton of
Hardy, Va., in the
Sunday final and
Jeremy Teasley, the
most successful
rider in Rockingham
history, who won the
5.60 Index class.
Although Concord’s
Anibal Merced won
Real Street,
Mooresville’s “Super
Dave” Stewart came
away with a national
record in the class
at 7.705 seconds.
Dustin Lee of
Morristown, Tenn.,
and James Farmer of
Ellendale, Del.,
were the winners in
the Street ET
Tournament of
Champions and Top
Sportsman,
respectively, and
Durham’s Stephen
Knight was among the
Street ET winners.
A total of 407 bikes
raced in the event,
150 of them in the
$10,000 ET
Showdown.
