TEASLEY
SCORES AGAIN IN
MIROCK FINALE AT
ROCKINGHAM DRAGWAY

Mickey Thompson
Performance
MIRock Superbike
Series champion
Jeremy Teasley
showed Sunday
that his
unprecedented
success at Steve
Earwood’s
Rockingham
Dragway is due
to much more
than just the
brute power of
his high-flying
Kawasaki
motorcycles.
The versatile
rider from
Orient, Ohio,
used his
starting line
reflexes to
offset
performance
deficits in the
semifinals of
both the D.M.E.
Real Street and
Motorcycle Tire
Outlet 5.60
classes on the
way to winning
both titles at
the
season-ending
Lee’s Fall Bike
Nationals.
A total of 524
bikes
participated in
the two-day
event, last of
seven comprising
the MIRock
Series which is
produced jointly
by The Rock
|
|
and Maryland
International
Raceway. Sunday’s
event encompassed
added incentive in
the form of an
increased
cash purse resulting
from the earlier
cancellation of the
Schnitz Summer
Sizzler.
Teasley, who won his
eighth Real Street
title in nine races
at Rockingham and
became the
winningest rider in
the MIRock Series,
shared the podium
with Kenneth Edwards
of Sebring, Fla.,
who won for the
second time at The
Rock in Pro Street;
Ronald Procopio Jr.
of Wake Forest, who
capped off a
championship season
with another Pro Mod
win; and
Rockingham’s Kyron
Prake, who won in
the House of Speed
Crazy 8s class.
Like Teasley, Dale
Hamilton of
Baltimore, Md.,
doubled-up with
victories in FBR
Shop Top Sportsman
and in
Sunday’s Nitrous
Express Pro ET race,
a performance that
earned him a $500
bonus from Nitrous
Express as the
winner of the most
ET rounds during the
two-day event.
Tournament of
Champions winners
were Derek
Christensen of
Hellam, Pa., in Pro
ET and Michael
Herman Jr. of
Woodbridge, Va., who
beat his dad in an
all-Herman final to
win the Street ET
title. Christensen
also won the
Nitrous Express Pro
ET race on Saturday
night, joining
Teasley and Hamilton
as double winners.
Nevertheless, it
largely was
Teasley’s day. In
addition to wins in
Real Street and
5.60, he raised the
Pro Street
speed record to
210.14 miles per
hour before bowing
out in round two.
Although he set
national records of
7.77 seconds and
197.80 mph in Real
Street, Teasley’s
bike was very mujch
in jeopardy in the
semifinals where
veteran Rickey
Gadson of Hammonton,
N.J., actually ran
quicker – 7.876 to
Teasley’s 7.907. The
difference was the
eventual winner’s
.073 of a second
advantage at the
starting line.
En route to the 5.60
title, he used those
same starting line
reactions to make a
slower 5.573 time a
winner against the
quicker 5.656 rung
up by Steve Dumas of
Pageland, S.C.
