Chris Cutsinger

Chris Cutsinger's 'Busa Funnybike qualified number 1 with a 4.25 at 167 in the eighth mile Pro Comp class, with Ron Maddox hitting 4.47 at 164. But that would be it for Pro Comp, and with only two bikes the decision was made to not run eliminations.

Also running to the eighth mile was Quicktime Motorsports/Lindeman Performance 4.60, the world's quickest two wheeled index class. Number 1 qualifier Les Stimac carried it all the way to the final, where his .110 light wasn't gonna be good enough against Dan McCarten, who ran .001 quicker.

McCarten's "War Machine" has been his bracket bike for the last decade. "I've been running it in the mid to upper 7's since I bought it," said McCarten, who also took the bike as a PXM to some ADRL events. "This is the first time I've really gotten after it in a few years. I tried running Pro Mod when they were only in the .20s and .30s, but I didn't have the money to pursue it on a competitive level. It's really nothing more than a stupid fast bracket bike."
