We have made some more changes, and we will be Martin and see what happens." A Nitro Funnybike that DID run 200 mph( 201.91) at National Trail was the brand-new camouflage paint-job bike of former champ Jim Doyle. " We had JTR( Jay Turner Racing) build this new bike," said Doyle. " The motor, RacePak, and ignition were taken from the old bike. The rest of it is new, with many upgrades. It is very comfortable to ride and goes straight never a bad thing!" " The bike is a tribute to all branches of the military with a special nod to U. S. Marines. They ' ll be 250 years old this year and I served six years in USMC myself."
Hawaya Racing Pro Fuel " Bad Apple Mary " Dangrow and her crew continue their Hawaya Racing Pro Fuel sweep. Her number one qualifying 7.43 at 168 mph had nearly 3 / 10ths and almost 6 mph on the field. That advantage didn ' t stop Mary and the Bad Apple team from improving every round on race day, running a very stout 7.25 at 170 against John Jenkins
for the win in the final. " Pro Fuel had a 16-bike field at this event, so there were no ' free ' passes," she said. " As we made our way through the ladder we got quicker, running a 7:32 in E1 and E2, a 7:30 in the semifinals, and running a 7:25 in the final against John Jenkins. " I want to give a shout out to John. He got his license at the season finals in Rockingham last year and was already in his first Pro Fuel
