The Teasley Show

It’s been two months since our last BAMF update. Most events this year have struggled to overcome issues with weather, from sketchy forecasts that have kept racers at home, to complete rainouts.

Despite the forecast, our hardcore sportsman racers are turning out to support events and earn points for BAMF and their individual series.

Ricardo Marte started the season as our points leader and held on to it for a few events. But then the Dragbike.com BAMF O.G. of Jeremy Teasley emerged as the points leader after four events. In 2014 when BAMF launched, Teasley took the win after a fierce battle with Ron Arnold, Ben Knight, and Bob Carlson. Teasley and Arnold battle it out all the way until Sunday night at the final race of the year when Arnold lost in a semi-final to give Teasley a 2-point lead for the win. Ron Arnold’s potential championship plate for the trophy still hangs in the Dragbike.com office a reminder of that battle.

For the next three years Teasley still graced the leaderboard hanging out in the top 10 of points, however with his diverse skill set he was also grudge racing, pro racing, building bikes and tuning, so the BAMF chase was no longer a priority. Which was no surprise since Teasley is known for keeping his racing portfolio diverse.

He has a very long list of accomplishments dating all the way back to 2006 when he became the AMA Dragbike Sportsman Racer of the Year and set two ET records in SuperSport running a 9.10 at the young age of 16. Since then he was tried his hand in every aspect of racing. If you want to test a bike, he is at the top of the list when tuners and builders start making phone calls.

After 4 events Teasley had only a marginal lead of one point for the newly un-retired Dustin Lee, and two points over Ricardo Marte. With two BAMF’s back at the top of the leaderboard, it gave us hope for a good competitive battle this year. But that soon came to an end when NHDRO finished two events in one weekend. With many finals from the Dragway 42 event being run at the St. Louis event, we knew that anything could happen by Sunday night.

But even we were not prepared for the ‘Teasley Show’ and how this episode was going to end. Not only Jeremy, but his brother Cameron and cousin Tylan Beckelheimer all took wins on Saturday morning for the Dragway 42 event, giving them a winner’s high and robust standing going into the St. Louis races.

Team JTR (Jeremy Teasley Racing) came on strong Sunday morning with Jeremy, Cameron and Brandon Teasley, along with Tylan Beckelheimer and Michael Daddio covering six of the eight NHDRO classes. Dynast, Crow Teasley, kept the boys fueled and in the lanes all weekend. It was a good decision by Crow to not race that weekend, with the heat soaring in the high 90’s it was a team effort to make sure no one was missing their rounds. The team as a whole shared in many round victories on Sunday, but it was Jeremy Teasley who became virtually unstoppable with two wins and two runner-up finishes in Top Gas, Street Fighter, Crazy Comp and Street ET.

This stellar Sunday performance has given him an eight-point lead on number two points holder, Tom Klemme. It was all smiles when JTR rolled out of the track on Sunday headed to a traditional victory dinner paid by the winner!

Tom Klemme, a name known by all in the sportsman ranks, is someone you never want in the other lane. He is a seasoned veteran racer and one of the toughest sportsman racers around. He has won a lot of events this year, but luckily for everyone, they were not all events that qualified for the BAMF series. Tom holds onto the #2 spot with a one-point lead over #3 Dustin Lee.

The Teasley show is already on the road and headed to Virginia Motorsports Park for the XDA MTC Engineering Summer Nationals. Will Jeremy leave with the same strong lead as he arrived with? Place your bets now.
