Pro Extreme Motorcycles
Joanne Walter:
Our finalists…
Paul [Fast by] Gast…
and Timblin’s Scott [Bionic Tonic] Gray…
meet in a potentially earth-turning match up and, despite Scott’s -.003 red light start, they did turn the earth in a simultaneous 4.310 and 4.305 thunder that showed the state of Ohio just what ADRL’s Extreme Pro-Motorcycle is made of.
Congrats to Paul Gast on his first Minute Man and a job well done!

Joanne Walter:
Lance Hines could not keep his bike fired and exited the start line to the disappointment of fans and teammates. But Scott Gray ran a lightning 4.281 despite the empty lane, delighting the swollen grandstands.
and Paul Gast ran down Ashley Owens with a 4.283 to Ashley’s 4.318 in a narrow photo finish

Joanne Walter:
Legion of Doom’s Ronnie Procopio got a lesson from Paul Gast in round 2 that on the tree and on the track this ol’ timer has no senior moments. For both men the game was on, but tonight the old man emerged.
Meanwhile Ashley Owens had to fight for his life as Mantez Thompson brought it, then lost it in round 2…but not before Ashley earned lane choice against Paul Gast in the Semis.
Travis Davis took on Lance Hines in a Middle Georgia match up, but lost it at the holeshot earning Lance another round closer to the Minute Man
and Monte Campbell encountered issues as the bike lunged for the center line causing him to lift in his face-off with Scott Gray
…Bionic Tonic advances…

Joanne Walter:
St Louis Minute Man winner, Travis Davis, overpowered Brunson Grothus [alternate for Casey Stemper ] running a 4.34 @ 164.59 mph
Mantez Thompson took the holeshot with a .016 rt and running a 4.357 et @ 166.03 mph over Eric McKinney’s .048 light and 4.354 et @ 165.42 mph giving him just enough to gain about a 7’ victory at the top end.
Paul Gast ran down Superman Rob Hunnicutt despite his great .015 reaction time. Looks like Fast by Gast is on the trail tonight!
Monte Cambell took the holeshot over TT Jones in a marginal victory despite a top end lift.
Scott Gray took a clear victory over Mark Person with a 4.263 @ 166.99 mph earning him lane choice in round 2
Ronald Procopio took an easy win over the struggling Charlie Prophit as Team Prophit continues to chase their elusive gremlins.
#2 qualifier Ashley Owens earned round 2 lane choice with a screaming 4.27 elapsed time @ 168.79 mph over Derrick Holloway
and Eddie Gonder’s valiant attempt against #1 qualifier Lance Hines fell short as Lance put up a 4.271 and overwhelmingly won lane choice for the next round.
