The reigning NHRA Full Throttle Pro Stock Motorcycle champion struggled with motor problems in his last outing at Englishtown, N.J. and lost in the first round using a borrowed motor. The motors were repaired, but losing Friday’s two important qualifying sessions to rain did not help.
The driver of the Nitro Fish/Tonglet Racing Pro Stock Motorcycle was 13th after his opening quarter-mile time of 7.098 seconds, 189.15 mph, but he couldn’t better it on the next run (7.121 at 188.17 mph) and dropped out of the starting line-up.
