Which leaves us with MIRock’s marquee class— Orient Express Pro Street. Three-time champ Rodney Williford and DME Racing’s Joey Gladstone traded high MPH punches in qualifying, with Gladstone coming out quickest with a 7.01. In eliminations, Gladstone eclipsed the record he set just last week with a 213.87 mph blast down the MIR pike.

It all boiled down to these two in the final. Williford launched some 2/10ths quicker than Gladstone, but you could hear Rodney pedaling the throttle on the big end. Not so Gladstone and his beautifully set-up DME Hayabusa. He kept the throttle pinned and took the final, capping a great comeback for Joey and the DME team following a high speed crash here in testing earlier this year. Jason Dunigan won Pro Street B.
