God looked down on MIR this weekend and said, "It is
good!" Sunny skies and a high temperature of 80 degrees enticed everyone to MIR this
Sunday for the Fall Superbike Showdown. Would you believe it again! MIR's popular series
has another RECORD CROWD! A total of 358 motorcycle entries, and more than 2100
spectators! This is the biggest bike count MIR has ever had. Many racers told MIR
promoters that they loved the completely new MIR repaved track surface that was done last
month. The track hooks harder than before and is as smooth as glass from the starting line
to the end of the shut down area. As a matter of fact, Outlaw Pro Street riders Guy
Thacker and Richard Eddinger hooked so hard their bikes stood straight up at the 1/8 mile,
and John Collins did a wheelie from the starting line and veered to the left and actually
hit the wall! All riders & machines were ok, and completed eliminations. With 358
bikes we opened the gates opened at 9 am and the race went to just after 9:00 pm, but we
got it all done! Thanks to the entire MIR hard working officials.
Jim Shifflett of Woodbridge, VA was your Quick 32 E.T. winner
defeating Durwood Rawlings from Prince Frederick, MD collecting $1,000. Andy Baumbach of
Fairfax Station, VA took the Superbike E.T. victory over Ronnie Procopio from Waldorf, MD.
In the $2,000 Superbike-vs-Quick32 Run-off, Andy Baumbach won his 2nd event at MIR
defeating Jim Shifflett.
Miami FL was in the house on Sunday, as Florida rider Bernard
Cannon defeated the #1 points leader John Collins from Selma, NC in the Outlaw Pro Street
