Was it possible for Teasley to win anything else? Indeed it was, as he took the Friday Night Fights win over Gall. NHDRO’s first hand-clutch, street-tire, heads-up, eighth-mile, no-time shootout off an instant-green-light event was a winner.

So everything was going Teasley’s way on his birthday weekend . . . until it wasn’t. Riding CJ400’s Kawasaki ZX14 that he won Friday’s Shootout with, Teasley lost a Port-Tech Grudge race to OSR’s Money Mike Studebaker. The red hot OSR combo also took a win over Gadson on Bud Light Lime.


But the big race of the night was a  "James at 15" stack match-up between Gadson on "Lawd Have Mercy" vs. Teasley on the MSP-built "Texas”—two long wheelbase, small slick, nitrous ‘Busas. Reaction times were similar (Gadson’s .067 to Teasley’s .061). Gadson’s bike out-60ed Teasley’s, then both front wheels came up at about 100 feet. Teasley fought “Texas” away from the centerline, laying over on the pipe and showering the big end with sparks while Gadson lit the winlight.

NHDRO’s notorious Big Bikini Throwdown lived up to the hype, with models of every wheelbase and displacement laying it all on the line for the win. In the end it was NHDRO regular Juicy who earned the crowd’s raucous approval.

The 2014 season went by quick, but the Fall Fury Finale’s family reunion atmosphere and good times ended the year with bang. Perfect weather and the hard-working Lucas Oil Raceway staff made for an amazing weekend of world records and close racing. NHDRO promoters Brian and Niki Welch will reconvene the Midwest’s largest motorcycle drag racing series beneath KD Kanopies in 2015, and the winter cannot go by quickly enough.
