DME Racing Real Street Eliminations
DME Racing Real Street was all business this past weekend as racers looked to step up their game this season, and the class saw the biggest bike count in years!
George Cross debuted his Hayabusa with a great attitude. Cross qualified with an 8.990; however, by round one of eliminations, he was knocking on that seven-second door with an 8.070 run.
Shane Stubbs also debuted with a GSX-R1000 that he thrashed on until he had to load up for the event. He qualified with an 8.275, but then went red in the first round of eliminations. With five weeks until the next event, he will get his package fine-tuned and ready for the June event.
Defending class champion David Stewart earned the number one qualifying spot with a 7.53, while also setting a new class MPH record at 196.56mph. Stewart also ran 199.79mph in round one of eliminations; however, he could not back it up for the record.
Stewart made it to the semi-final but was outperformed by Courtlan Whiting, who ran a 7.568 to Stewart’s 7.622. This win would send Whiting to his first-ever Real Street final!
In the final, Whiting faced previous class champion Mark Hylton and it would take everything he had to get around him for a win. When the bulbs flashed both riders rocketed out of the gate. Both riders fought wheelies at the 60′ mark, but Courtlan recovered quicker, allowing him to keep his forward momentum and stay ahead of Hylton to the finish line. This was Whiting’s first DME Racing Real Street win.
