Dragbike.com BAMF – Three Man Race

The last BAMF article was about two months ago and a lot has changed since then. At the time, veteran Harley racer Donnie Huffman had just taken over the points lead. It was also way too early in the year to have an idea on championship battles.

Since then the whole landscape has changed. The reigning BAMF champion Dustin Lee, has climbed atop the leader board and tried to stretch his lead. Unfortunately, every time he makes head way on his points lead, Bob Carlson or John Markham cut right back into it. As the points currently sit, Lee has a 4-point lead over Markham and a 9-point lead over Carlson. However, if the first year of Dragbike.com BAMF competition taught us anything, it’s that ANYTHING can happen.

But for those that don’t want to scour every series points totals, we’ll give you a better idea of how the race is shaping up. The end of year championships will undoubtedly decide who becomes the 2016 BAMF, so that’s where we will look. Without further ado, we’ll start with the reigning BAMF champion. Dustin Lee has the potential to win five championships and very long shots at an additional four. Lee did not attend the first Man Cup race and that could end up costing him down the road, especially since three of his potential championships are going to be battles down to the wire with Carlson and Markham.

John “Spooky” Markham has been on fire this year. He has the best win percentage out of the top three and that bodes well for championships and additional points. Markham has the potential to win three championships and also has two additional “long shots”. Key for Spooky will be to defeat Dustin in the NHDRO Super Comp Championship hunt, which will give himself four points and deny Lee four.

Last, but certainly not least is veteran Connecticut racer Bob Carlson. Bob also has a legitimate shot at no less than five championships and two of those could deny Dustin Lee end of the year honors. Carlson has the resume and poise to keep things moving in the right direction and has been a consistent performer at every race this year.

It’s very fitting that the top three competitors in this year’s competition are literally battling head to head. If Markham and Carlson can deny the reigning BAMF championships, then they will certainly increase their year-end odds. But it’s not always about the championships and although Lee and Carlson have been consistent final round contenders, John Markham has simply been on fire in the finals this year. Will “Spooky” continue his final round terror gaining ground one point at a time on the competition? Can the “Young Gun” out race two of the sports finest sportsman racers in the closing three months? September will be an exciting month for the BAMF competitors and fans. Stay tuned!
