Pingel Top Fuel
Winner - Larry McBride 5.929
Runner-up - Ian King 5.924
#1 Qualifier - Larry McBride 5.63
During eliminations, Larry faced off against Chris Hand during E1 and Chris and his team put up an excellent fight posting a stout 6.14 @ 207 to Larry’s 5.64 @ 258 MPH. Sam Wills defeated Jay Turner 6.09 to 7.21, Dave Vantine out ran Juha Hintukainen 6.06 to (broke), and Ian King shot past Mitch Brown on Dennis Bradley’s bike, 5.81 to 13.62.
During round two of eliminations, Sam Wills suffered mechanical woes, and Larry McBride took the win with a 5.68 @ 261mph to secure his place in the final round and with it a 20th Top Fuel championship. Ian King of the UK then posted a stellar 5.82 @ 239 MPH to dispatch Dave Vantine, whose rear tire went up in smoke early in the run. This set up a classic Pingel Top Fuel final between the two quickest Top Fuel motorcycles on the planet. And the final round did not disappoint.
10-time European Top Fuel motorcycle champion, Ian King vs. the Spiderman was the matchup everyone wanted to see as these long-time friends and rivals always tend to bring out the best in one another. When they launched their Top Fuel bikes on Monday afternoon, everyone could see they were on a hard run, with Ian gaining quickly through the mid-course. From the starting line area, it was impossible to tell who was in the lead late in the run. When the scoreboards lit up with 5.929 for Spiderman and 5.924 for Ian, with the win-light lit for team McBride, it was chaos on the starting line for the Cycle Specialist team of Larry McBride. Larry took the win on a hole-shot, .199 to .212 respective reaction times, and it was a great drag race indeed for Pingel Top Fuel.
