The APE sponsored Pro Street class racing at the World Finals was just as good as it gets in motorcycle drag racing. It began on Thursday and Friday with Rodney Williford and the Williford Racing stable taking the win in the DME Racing All-Star Shootout, and the $10,000 cash reward.

As for the action that carried over into the APE Pro Street action, #1 qualifier Frankie Stotz just STUNNED everyone with a 6.70 @ 202 MPH that got everyone’s attention. He also recorded a 6.84 in qualifying that revealed a 4.29 1/8th mile elapsed time that was just mind-bending. His Kent Stotz prepared Honda was flying like never before. It was plain to see the battle for Pro Street supremacy was game-on!

With a full 32 bike ladder set for Sunday, the big battle to watch for was the performance of Jeremy Teasley and Ehren Litten as they were battling it out for championship points with Teasley in the lead by 27 markers.

With Jeremy qualified 8th, and Ehren qualified 9th, neither racer was giving quarter to the other. But that battle ended after E-1 when Ehren broke and lost his first round to Rocky Tinker. Jeremy won his round against Jake Henderson, 6.79 to Jake’s 8.12, easily. Jeremy’s DME prepared Pro Street bike was producing bracket-bike like consistency throughout the All-Star Shootout and into the Pro Street fray on Sunday. During eliminations, Jeremy logged in runs of 6.79 (E-1), 6.82 (E-2), and 6.85 (E-3), before running into Rodney Williford in the semi-final round where his performance dropped to a 7.40, as Rodney stormed by with a resounding 6.67 @ 223.39 to end Jeremy’s day.

But this left Rodney Williford and Mark Paquette for the final matchup in Pro Street. Rodney was away first with a .030 RT to Mark’s .063 and after that, it was Williford all the way for the win. Because Rodney won the DME All-Star Shootout ($10,000) AND the Man Cup World Final event, Man Cup added a $1,000 bonus to the $3,000 winner’s purse.

So Rodney walked away from the Man Cup World Finals $14,000 richer than when he drove through the gate on day one. His team, Williford Racing, was flawless in their racing execution. Swapping out motors, preparing his bike, they cleaned the table and they earned it: The whole team.
