Reigning MIRock
Mickey Thompson
Performance
Tires Champion
Joey Gladstone
shook off a
final round loss
to DME teammate
Terence Angela
in Saturdays
completion of
the Adams
Performance
Spring Open and
crushed his
Orient Express
Pro Street
rivals Sunday in
the 18th annual
FBR Shop Summer
Sizzler at
Rockingham
Dragway.
After fumbling
his opportunity
for a double
victory weekend,
Gladstone
blistered the
Rockingham
Dragway quarter
mile in 6.925
seconds at
211.96 miles per
hour Sunday.
Those are MIRock
bests for time
and speed and
they got the
Townsend, Del.,
rider to the
final where he
got a free pass
when Jason
Dunigan of
Jackson, Mich.,
was guilty of a
foul start.
Other Summer
Sizzler winners
were Rickey
Gadson of
Hammonton, N.J.,
in DME Real
Street; Richard
Gadson of
Louisburg, N.C.,
in the Louis
Concrete 4.60
class; Michael
Ostrowski of Bay
Shore, N.Y., in
FBR Shop 5.60;
Michael Hinson
of Ellerbe,
N.C., in Cycle
Connection Crazy
8s; and many
time Rockingham
winner Jeremy
Teasley of
Columbus, Ohio
in Trac King Top
Sportsman.
Nevertheless,
the most
competitive
event of the
week was the
battle for the
record $5,000
top prize in
Saturdays
Nitrous Express
Pro ET class. A
total of 110
riders
representing 16
different states
took their shots
but the only one
still standing
at days end was
Brian Guarino of
Kenbridge, Va.
Guarino used his
starting line
skills to get
the best of Dale
Hamilton of Mt.
Airy, Md., in
the final round.
Guarinos .018
reaction time
made his 9.276
on a 9.230
dial-in a winner
even though
Hamilton ran
closer to his
number (9.674 on
a 9.660 target).
It was a
disappointing
outcome for
Hamilton, who
took two bikes
to the
semifinals.
The $5,000
winners award
was sponsored by
The FBR Shop,
Nitrous Express,
MTC Engineering,
Schnitz Racing,
Shinko/WPS and
Shutt
Electronics.
Other big
winners were
Dale Nilles of
Wilkesboro, who
rode his
Harley-Davidson
to a Louis
Concrete 4.60
victory in the
Adams
Performance race
on Saturday and
David Merks of
North Augusta,
S.C., who, after
winning Real
Street on
Saturday, lost
his chance to
double up by
.044 of a second
in Sundays
final.
While Guarino
got away with
the big money,
other ET winners
were Scottie
Keller of
Mooresville,
Dustin Lee of
Morristown,
Tenn. and Barry
Pryer Sr. of
Chesapeake, Va.
