2015 BAMF : Knight is Back on Top

The NHDRO Season Opener is in the books and we have new leaders in the chase for the Best Sportsman Racer in America.

Kevin Adams showed up to the NHDRO season opener ready to kick ass and take names. Adams was relentless taking two wins and a runner-up finish in three classes. In 2014 Kevin only put two points on the board for the entire season and now he has put up 5 points in one event. Impressive! Will it end there or will he prove to be a tough competitor in 2015?

Ben Knight took only one win this past weekend in Crazy 8’s,   but it was enough to get him in the top spot with Kevin Adams. Many expected Knight to make a final round appearance in Street ET to rack up additional points,  however he was blocked from reaching the finals in the semi’s when he red-lit to his brother Stephen. Stephen went on to get his first points in this years chase with a runner-up finish. Will Ben’s own brother be some of his biggest competition this year?

In two weeks many of these racers will be back at Maryland for the IDBL event to attempt more gains. Stay Tuned!

We would also like to take this time to welcome David Poague of Interstate Specialties Services back again as a 2015 sponsor with a donation of $250.00 to bring the current purse up to $2,550.00! Thank you David for your support and generosity!

If any racers would like to contribute any used parts for the 2015 BAMF Trophy that Tom Patsis of Cold Hard Art will be creating, please send us an e-mail and we can pick them up at one of the races in the next few months.

Good Luck!
