ROCKINGHAM, N.C. –
What the annual
Lee’s Performance
World Finals lacked
in quantity it
delivered in quality
Sunday at Rockingham
Dragway where riders
from seven states
and Aruba reached
the winners’ circle
in the final event
in the 2014 Mickey
Thompson Performance
MIRock Superbike
Series.
Aruba’s Terence
Angela got the
biggest prize when
he upset two-time
and reigning series
champion Joey
Gladstone of
Townsend, Del., in
the final round of
Orient Express Pro
Street, but there
was plenty of
hardware to go
around in the
two-day bike-fest.
Veteran Rickey
Gadson of Hammonton,
N.J., not to be
confused with
veteran Richard
Gadson of Louisburg,
N.C., won DME Real
Street. Then, not to
be outdone, the
other Gadson won in
Louis Concrete 4.60.
As usual, Jeremy
Teasley of Columbus,
Ohio, who has won
more MIRock races at
Rockingham than any
other rider, managed
to find his way to
the winners’ circle
– although it wasn’t
easy. It took a .018
of a second starting
line advantage to
make his 5.637 at
126.60 mph a winner
in the FBR Shop 5.60
final over Daniel
Joyce’s slightly
quicker 5.620 at
121.43 mph. Teasley
subsequently had a
chance to double-up,
but he fell short in
the Real Street
final.
The weekend’s only
double winner, in
fact, was Brian
Canoles of Berkeley
Springs, West Va.,
who won a Pro ET
title Sunday and the
Pro ET Tournament of
Champions runoff.
Additional ET
winners were Derek
Crawford of
Charlottesville,
Va., and MIRock
mainstay Boo Brown
of Potomac Falls,
Va., won the Brocks
Performance Street
ET Tournament of
Champions
Other winners were
Ron Arnold of
Bowling Green, Ky. (Trac
King Top Sportsman),
Dustin Lee of
Morristown, Tenn.
(9.50 Index) and
Clay Davies of
Petersburg, Va.
(Cycle Connection
Crazy 8s).
