No class was more intense than DME Racing Real Street, where Kawasaki superstar Rickey Gadson had his Chris Jones-built, turbo ZX14R shooting for a championship. To do so, he’d have to get past defending champion Jeremy Teasley’s nitrous-huffing ‘14.

The first order of the day was accomplished when Gadson took number 1 qualifier by .012 of a second over Teasley in their one shot. But that put Gadson up against his nephew Richard in round 1—no doubt a sure win for Uncle Rickey but perhaps a missed opportunity for him to have knocked off Teasley, or Richard to have beat one of Teasley’s teammates.

“We decided not to play any qualifying games,” said Rickey. “We went out there to run our best and let the chips fall.” And run his best he did, all the way to the final where he beat Teasley for the race win. But that wasn’t enough to make up the points difference and Teasley took yet another Real Street championship on his RS Motorsports mount.

Joey Gladstone already had his second straight Orient Express Pro Street championship locked up on arrival at The Rock. He qualified number 1 and faced DME Racing teammate Terence Angela in the final. Angela took the 650 horsepower, street tire peddle-fest and secured the number 2 plate himself.

Bike owner Simon Giordmaina and rider Joseph Grima came all the way from the beautiful Mediterranean island of Malta to compete with their Pro Street bike at the MIROCK Finals.
