by Marvin T. Smith
In spite of record 151 degree track temperatures, racers from fourteen states turned out for SGMP’s big money motorcycle bracket event. One race was held on Friday and two races were contested on Saturday in Street ET and Pro ET classes.
On Friday, thirty cycles battled for the Street ET class. In the finals, Craig Cross from Stone Mountain, Georgia defeated a fouling Daniel Ingram from Tallahassee, Florida. Semifinalists included Baybay Yarbrough from Georgia and Chad Isley from Illinois, both of whom broke out.
Friday’s Pro ET field of 65 bikes came down to Michael Mathawl from LaGrange, Texas against Bruce Damewood of Clinton, Iowa. Mathawl ran an outstanding 5.982 on his 5.98 dial to defeat Damewood who broke out by .006. Tim Hunt from Boynton Beach, Florida and Tony Davis from Houston, Texas were the semifinalists.
Two separate races were contested on Saturday, giving the bracket racers three chances to win in two days. Thirty-eight cycles made the call for the first Street ET race. After seven rounds of hard racing, Mike Sellulz from Virginia defeated Stanley Russell from Georgia. Sellulz had a strong .012 light to hold off Russell who rode closer to his dial. Andy Lynch from South Carolina was the lone semifinalist . In the second Street ET Saturday race, Tim Patrick from Florida defeated Andy Lynch from South Carolina In a good race. Lynch took the starting line advantage, .010 to .012, but Patrick ran 6.058 on his 6.04 dial to take the win over Lynch’s 6.538 on his 6.51 dial. Danny Ingram and Chad Isley were the semifinalists.
In Saturday Pro ET action, 59 bikes contested the first event. In the final round, Troy Crawford from Florida defeated John Spooky Markham from Kentucky in a strange, off-pace final. Crawford took the startling line advantage with a great .002 light and won with a 6.005 on his 5.66 dial when Markham ran an even slower 7.354 on his 6.91 dial. Candy Hagadorn and the other John Markham (not Spooky) were semifinalists. In the second Saturday Pro ET event, Chad Isley from Illinois defeated Steve Klemme from Illinois. Both dialed in a 5.99. Klemme took the startling line advantage, .024 to .042, but Isley ran a 6.094 to Klemme’s losing 6.125. Paul Holman from Texas was the lone semifinalist.
