Pro Outlaw and Axtell Cylinders Hot Street winner Charley " No Bags " Douglass
Charley ' s. 055. It wasn ' t enough, as Charley ' s 8.19 easily dispatched Doherty ' s 8.70- both at 153 mph. That ' s a low mph figure for Douglass, who lost lane choice for the final to Jeremy Williamson, who ran 7.75 at 169 on his turbo Bagger. The final could ' ve been epic. " Was on the 2-step too long and went red," said Williamson, who was-. 265. Both bikes ran 7.42, with Douglass only. 001 quicker. The normally aspirated Axtell Cylinders Hot Street field was just as tough, with Byron winner Clayton Danford qualifying number one and Douglass second. Douglass faced Danford in the final and once again benefitted from a redlight, as Clayton punched in at-. 022 and threw away what would have been a winning 10.15 at 106 to Charley ' s 10.27 at 133. Some racers double once in a lifetime. Bagger racer Nick Boey can ' t seem to stop! " We were able to put together another double-up weekend for the third time in four races," said Illinois racer Boey. In hotly contested Zipper ' s Performance Pro Bagger and Thundermax Street Bagger, no less. Boey qualified number two in both classes,. 008 behind number one Shannon Poor ' s 8.24 in Pro Bagger and well behind Jimmy Maikranz ' s record setting( both ends) 9.14 at 151.63 mph with a 9.40 in Street. But Poor ' s bike was hurt, coasting down track on his round one bye and noshowing against Bert Baker in round two. That set up the final between Baker and Boey. Double-duty Bert( also racing Top Fuel!) grabbed. 041 at the tree but ran 8.33 to Nick ' s winning 8.11. Maikranz handled teammate Jeff Boudreaux in round one to meet Boey in the Street Bagger final. This time it was Boey ' s. 171 that took the tree

against Jimmy ' s. 222, and Nick kept it out front 9.39 at 146 to 10.83 / 148 for the win. It wasn ' t just out-the-backdoor racers that won doubles at Beech Bend, Ohio sportsman racer Richard George accomplished the feat in Huffman Performance Super Gas 9.90 and BK Electric Super Pro 10.30. George qualified third in Super Gas, behind number one Chuck Kennedy. Despite a whopping. 014 to. 174 lead at the tree, Kennedy lost to Jimmy Smith with a 10.15 to Jimmy ' s 9.97 in the semis. In a great race on the other side, George beat Byron winner Robert
Alther with an. 076 / 10.01 / 130 to Alther ' s. 061 / 10.04 / 130. Perhaps admiring the beautiful Beech Bend sunset in the final, Smith was a full. 216 behind George ' s. 051 and broke out trying to catch up. George qualified ninth in the 20-bike BK Electric Super Pro 10.30 field with a 10.39. Cody Hayworth was number one with a 10.308. Hayworth was a victim of Robert Mallory ' s. 006 light in the semis. Mallory still took the tree in the final with an. 076 to George ' s. 111, but George kept it closer to the index with a 10.37 to Mallory ' s. 46. Canadian Russ Johnson swept the
Huffman Performance Super Gas and BK Electric Super Pro winner Richard George
Zipper ' s Performance Modified table at Beech Bend, qualifying number one and beating defending class champ Kim DeShields in the final. Johnson took the tree by. 021 and ran an 8.85 at 146 to 9.28 / 140 for DeShields. Super Pro number one qualifier Hayworth only qualified seventh in Top Eliminator 9.90, but performed on raceday when it mattered. In the Top Eliminator final he faced Randy Erdman, who defeated number one qualifier Chuck Kennedy in round two. Hayworth was very generous against Erdman at the tree, watching him leave with a. 075 before starting his own quarter mile journey with a. 147. But Erdman struggled with a 13.31 at 89 mph while Cody nailed a winning 9.93 / 109. S & S Cycle Pro Eliminator 10.90 number one qualifier Bryce Creek( 10.901) had it going on raceday too, until the sixth and final round against John Bradley. That was when Creek paddled off the starting line with a. 138 in the wake of Bradley ' s. 015. Creek worked his oars furiously to break out with a 10.86. Austin " Hammerhead " Hughes was dead-on 10.90 in his round one win against Larry Stevens. Larry was. 006 quicker at the tree but. 007 off the index. Wow! Kevin Winters is a double winner waiting to happen, it just hasn ' t happened this year- yet. But Winters did win Thundermax Street Eliminator 11.50 at Beech Bend. After qualifying fourth with a 10.54, Winters slashed his way through the 34 bike field to reach the final against John Poett. Poett took the tree. 072 to. 095, but his 12.01 ET wasn ' t going to cut it. Kevin won with an 11.79. " Wild Bill " Quinn finally sealed the deal in Baker Drivetrain Eliminator- a 74 bike field at Beech Bend. Fellow finalist Tim Parker made that last round easy for Quinn, going-. 008 red. The next race is the Big One, the Jim McClure Memorial AMRA Finals at North Carolina ' s Rockingham Dragway.
