McIntosh Machine & Fabrication Pro Street saw similar qualifying performances, with Frankie Stotz’s (right) 6.962 taking the number 1 spot on his turbocharged Honda CBR1000RR. Second generation racer Tyler Fisher (above) caused a further stir Saturday night when he ran 6.98 at 211 mph on the Suzuki Hayabusa that Paquette owns and tunes—meaning Michigan surgical tool sharpener Paquette was right on his game with two very different pieces of equipment. Doug Gall was third with a 7.13, and veteran rider Phil Stoll fourth on Ronnie Mitchell’s turbocharged, pink “Rizzo.”

Pro Street bikes were lapping like crazy during Port-Tech Grudge, and Sunday’s eliminations would have been a no-holds barred battle for the win. As it was, Gall was the big Pro Street winner on the weekend as he claimed the championship. “My biggest goal in drag racing was to win a Pro Street championship,” said Gall, who won the Crazy 8s championship in the NHDRO’s first full season. “I am very fortunate to have a great little crew and have the right amount of luck.” Gall plans to defend the number 1 plate in 2014 and also run all the MIRock and Man Cup races if the sponsorship is there.
