Rockingham Dragway was rockin’ with a sold-out crowd for Dragstock IV.

Doug Winters gets a last-minute look over his ’57 Chevy Pro Extreme ride.

For the first time in ADRL history, the scoreboards showed a three-second bump spot for Pro Extreme.


With a sparse crowd remaining at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, Billy Vose (above left) and Rob Bush push their bikes to the line for the Pro Extreme Motorcycle final. Vose won the race.

Brad Personett and his Titan Motorsports team impressed more than a few of the ADRL faithful with their first outing on 10.5W tires, racing all the way to the Extreme 10.5 win over Kenny Kneece with their twin-turboed, 186 c.i., inline-six-cylinder '06 Scion. Personett said they've been looking for a new competition outlet and feels they may have found a new home.
