Heat, Heartbreak, and History: XDA Rewrites the Record Books at Rockingham

The 8th annual 190 Hookup.com Superbike Showdown at Rockingham Dragway delivered one of the most memorable weekends in XDA history, surviving oppressive heat and repeated weather delays that limited nearly every class to a single qualifying session. Jason Dunigan rewrote the Pro Street record book twice in one day and completed a perfect weekend sweep. Jamie Lopes set the ET record on his way to the Real Street win, and Terry Schweigert closed out MaxxECU Pro Extreme when race leader John Collins red-lighted in the final. Dustin Lee and Gavin McMichael each doubled up, winning two classes apiece.

Orient Express Racing Pro Street

Winner – Jason Dunigan
Runner-up – Jeremy Teasley
#1 Qualifier – Jason Dunigan 6.341
ET Record – Jason Dunigan 6.283

Oppressive heat and relentless summer storms set the stage for a dramatic Orient Express Pro Street weekend at Rockingham Dragway, washing out two of the three scheduled qualifying sessions and leaving the entire 17-bike field with just a single shot to make the show. When the dust settled on that one qualifying run, it was points leader Jason Dunigan at the top of the sheet, laying down a 6.341 at 234.50 MPH aboard the DME Racing Hayabusa to set the tone for what was about to unfold.

The storylines heading into eliminations were rich. Five-time and reigning class champion Rodney Williford, who has dominated Pro Street since 2021, found himself buried in the 12th spot after a tough qualifier, running a 6.781. Jamie Lopes, the lone GSX-R1000 in a sea of Hayabusas, locked in 4th with a 6.435. And then there was Jeremy Teasley, the 2019 and 2020 champion who had largely been absent from the class for years, who struggled in that single qualifying session, scraping into the field at 14th on a 7.509 aboard the Connelly Racing Hayabusa. Nobody was expecting much from him come Sunday.

They should have been paying closer attention.

Round one was a bloodbath for the top of the ladder. Williford, the reigning five-time champ went red at the tree sending Spencer Claycomb to round two. Meanwhile, Dunigan opened with a crisp 6.341 to dispatch Kaleb Wood, and Mark Rendeluk, Dunigan’s DME Racing teammate, knocked out Dylan Neman with a 6.355. But the pass that turned everyone’s head was Teasley’s. The veteran came to life in a big way, posting a 6.329, low ET of the round, to eliminate Justin Shakir. The Pro Action Cycles tuned bike that looked lost in qualifying had found another gear entirely.

Round two thinned the field to four, and Dunigan put on a clinic. He wheeled the DME machine to a 6.284, slicing past the existing class ET record of 6.287 set by Rodney Williford. It was the quickest pass in Pro Street history at that moment, and the crowd took notice. Teasley kept the pressure on, running a 6.381 to eliminate Mike Sweeney Jr., while Lopes took care of Claycomb with a 6.414 and Rendeluk survived a battle with Rudy Sanzottera.

The semi-finals delivered more of the same from Dunigan. He pushed the record deeper, running a 6.283 to officially rewrite the record books and send Jamie Lopes, who answered with a respectable 6.409, packing. On the other side of the ladder, Teasley continued his remarkable redemption arc, reaching the final running a 6.306 against Rendeluk who went red at the tree.

The final was a dream matchup, the dominant points leader against the veteran comeback story. But once again, it ended in heartbreak for Teasley when the Connelly Racing bike wheelied hard at the launch, leaving Teasley to battle his machine while Dunigan took his second consecutive event victory. Dunigan made it look routine, closing out the final with a 6.300 to cement a flawless weekend sweep.

Jason Dunigan leaves Rockingham not just with the win, but with the ET record, a 6.283 at 236.22 MPH, and an iron grip on the points lead. Teasley, despite not getting the win, proved that the Connelly Racing effort is very much for real. Back in the show, back in the finals, and running 6.30s like it’s second nature. Don’t count him out for the rest of the season.

DME Racing Real Street

Winner – Jamie Lopes
Runner-up – Caleb Holt
#1 Qualifier – Bruce Emanuel 7.238
ET Record – Jamie Lopes 7.210

The same brutal combination of summer heat and afternoon storms pushed DME Racing Real Street into a single qualifying session, sending 16 competitors to the line with one shot to make the show. When the qualifying sheet was posted, it was Bruce Emanuel standing at the top with a 7.238, a fitting result given that Emanuel already owned the class ET record of 7.212. What made his number one qualifying position even more remarkable was the machine beneath him. While the rest of the field rolled out on a Hayabusa or GSX-R1000s, Emanuel was piloting a Harley Bagger, and it was the quickest thing in the class for qualifying.

The headline before eliminations started, however, wasn’t about who made the field. It was about who didn’t. Marcus Hylton, the reigning 2025 class champion, had endured a nightmare Saturday. A mechanical issue during morning warm-up left him scrambling. Hylton, who lives close to the track, pulled his motor, loaded it into his truck, and drove to his shop to make repairs, planning to return in time for the second qualifying session. What he didn’t know was that the incoming rain would force officials to cancel that session entirely and send the class straight into eliminations. By the time Hylton made it back to the pits, the field was already rolling to the line for their only qualifier. He was still bolting his motor back into the bike. It was a heartbreaking way to miss an event, but it’s the kind of adversity that only makes a champion hungrier heading into the next race.

Round one delivered its own dose of drama when the number one qualifier, Bruce Emanuel, ran into trouble on his Harley Bagger and could only manage a 13.900 against Ty Isaac, who himself was off the pace at 12.558 but got the job done to advance. The biggest pass of the round, though, came from reigning event winner Jamie Lopes. Lopes wheeled his GSX-R1000 to a 7.210 at 209.50 MPH against BJ Pryer, immediately erasing Emanuel’s ET record in the process. Just like that, the bar had moved.

The rest of the round saw Jayden Litten run a 7.410 to take out Jayden Angela, Brandon Litten post a 7.380 over George Cross, Caleb Holt run a 7.490 past Anibel Merced, David Stewart clock a 7.394 to eliminate Ashley Sweeney, Nick Hamlett cut a 7.358 over Aubrey Valentine, and Rickey Gadson, who had battled through mechanical gremlins during Thursday testing but worked through them to make a solid weekend showing, posted a 7.366 to knock out Courtlan Whiting.

Round two put the field in a familiar position with Lopes at the front and everyone else chasing. Lopes backed up his record run with another 7.210, this time at 210.67 MPH, to dispatch Gadson and leave no doubt about who had the quickest machine in the class. Hamlett took care of Brandon Litten with a 7.409, Holt moved past Jayden Litten with his own 7.409, and Stewart handled a struggling Ty Isaac to advance.

In the semi-finals, Holt held his composure to beat Stewart, running a 7.604 while Stewart slowed to 8.630. Lopes then put an exclamation point on the weekend, running a 7.335 at 211.07 MPH over Hamlett’s 7.406.

The final never really got off the ground. Caleb Holt suffered a mechanical failure that left him unable to take the starting line, so Lopes staged, broke the beams, and collected the win light in anticlimactic fashion. The scoreboard may have been quiet, but the rest of the day told the whole story. Jamie Lopes is running the best Real Street program on the property right now, and with the ET record in hand, the rest of the class has a very clear benchmark to chase down.

MaxxECU Pro Xtreme

Winner – Terry Schweigert
Runner-up – John Collins
#1 Qualifier – John Collins 4.054

Before a single bike fired up for eliminations at Rockingham Dragway, the MaxxECU Pro Extreme team of reigning class champion Terry Schweigert was already fighting to be there. On Friday morning, Schweigert’s bike builder and tuner, Dan Wagner, identified mechanical issues that couldn’t be addressed in the pits and had no choice but to load up and leave the track. Wagner made a trip to Ehren Litten’s shop and then to his own before finally making it back late Friday night. It was a maximum effort from a team that refused to quit, and it set the tone for everything that followed.

With only one qualifying session on the books after heat and rain canceled the rest, John Collins came out on top of the 11-bike field, posting a 4.054 at 178.29 MPH to grab the number one spot. Nikie Corley was right behind him at 4.056, and Jean Gosselin slotted in third at 4.083. Schweigert, working with a bike that had only just been put back together, qualified fifth with a 4.151.

Round one wasted no time making a statement. Corley wheeled out a 3.983 at 185.34 MPH to dispatch Chris Theodoridis, becoming one of only two riders to crack the 3-second barrier all weekend. Collins ran a comfortable bye with a 4.014. Brunson Grothus showed the kind of speed that’s made him a perennial threat, running a 4.035 at 185.11 MPH to defeat Rob Garcia. Schweigert handled Joe Smith, who fouled with a -.0092 red light, running a 4.065 to advance.

Round two produced one of the most compelling matchups of the class when Schweigert and Corley lined up. Corley was on the move but tagged the tree with a -.0005 red light, handing Schweigert the win. Not that it was a gimme. Schweigert answered with a 3.985 at 182.33 MPH, the second 3-second pass of the weekend and a statement that the championship bike was fully awake. Grothus took care of Gosselin with a 4.042, and Collins moved through on a Craig Rosenberg no-show.

In the semi-finals, Schweigert held an earned bye and staged to collect the win light while Collins and Grothus put on a drag race that went down to the wire. Collins edged Grothus 4.029 to 4.033, a margin so slim it barely registered, but it was enough to send Collins to the final for the second consecutive event. At the previous race, Collins had also qualified number one before falling to Grothus in the final. He was hungry to get to the winner’s circle this time.

The final didn’t go his way. Collins went red at the tree with a -.0028 light, and Schweigert needed no invitation. He threw down a 3.963 at 189.23 MPH to close out the win and leave no doubt. From a near-crisis on Friday morning to a championship-caliber performance on Sunday, the Schweigert team delivered exactly when it mattered. The reigning champion is making a strong case to repeat in 2026.

MaxxECU Pro Xtreme is presented by Billy Vose Racing, Fast by Gast, Dunigan Racing, DME Racing, Grothus Dragbikes, Harley Haul, Rob Bush Motorsports, Robinson Industries, Schnitz Racing, Timblin Chassis, and Worldwide Bearings, Pro Performance and Mikronite.

1 Stop Speed 4.60 Index

Winner – Ronald Procopio
Runner-up – Mike Mace

If there is one class at the XDA that leaves absolutely no margin for error, it is the 1 Stop Speed 4.60 Index. Racing exclusively to the eighth mile, every competitor dials in at 4.60, and the difference between winning and losing often comes down to thousandths of a second. Run under 4.60, and you break out. Hesitate on the tree, and you hand your opponent the race. With 32 competitors packed into one of the biggest fields of the weekend, and only a single qualifying session available after the heat and rain washed out the rest, the stage was set for a long and grueling Sunday.

Ronald Procopio, the class champion every year since 2020, came out on top of qualifying with a 4.606, putting himself in the driver’s seat heading into five rounds of elimination racing. The field was deep and competitive, with the top of the sheet separated by fractions as riders like Harvey Hubbard, DeShawn Wheeler, Gary Clontz, and Mike Mace all positioned themselves for a long Sunday run.

Round one saw the field shake out in the way index racing often does, with breakouts and red lights deciding as many matchups as pure speed. Procopio survived the opening round by the skin of his teeth, running a 4.592 to edge out Terry Wynn, who broke out worse. Wheeler, Clontz, Mace, and Alan Fields all moved through cleanly, while Q108 Courtney Wheeler benefited from a red light by Curtis Griggs to survive despite an off-pace pass of his own.

Round two tightened the field considerably. Alan Fields took out Robert Crocker when Crocker went red, Clontz slipped through over Joseph Rodney with a 4.573, and Wheeler knocked out Rashad Jones who also fouled. Procopio and Mace both advanced to keep the championship contenders in the hunt.

Rounds three and four continued to whittle the field down through a combination of precise ET management and tree work. Wheeler ran a sharp 4.611 in round three to move through, and Procopio answered in kind with a 4.619 at 156.96 MPH, the top speed of the round. In the semis, Procopio won over Gary Clontz and Mace handled Wheeler to set up an all-or-nothing final.

The final came down to who could dial in tighter, and Procopio delivered. He ran a 4.609 to Mace’s 4.620 to take the win. Ronald Procopio walks away with another event victory, further cementing a run of dominance in the 4.60 Index class that has now stretched over six consecutive seasons. In a class this deep and this precise, that kind of consistency is nothing short of remarkable.

HTP Performance Super Stock

Winner – Tim Cottrell
Runner-up – Caleb Holt
#1 Qualifier – Tim Cottrell 8.881

HTP Performance Super Stock is one of the most deceptively challenging classes in the XDA paddock. The bikes are tightly regulated and run close to stock, but making them go straight and fast off the line is anything but simple. The stock wheelbase and limited modifications put the burden squarely on the rider, and it takes a high level of skill to launch these machines cleanly and get them down the track without wheeling out. It is widely considered a rider’s class, and the results often reflect who has the most seat time and instinct behind the bars.

With only one qualifying session available after heat and rain wiped out the other two, the seven-bike field got a single shot to set the order. Tim Cottrell, the reigning 2025 class champion and winner of the previous event, put himself exactly where you’d expect, at the top of the sheet with an 8.881 to earn the number one qualifier spot. Caleb Holt slotted in second at 9.069, Jamie Lopes third at 9.108, and Sawyer Williford fourth at 9.487.

As the top qualifier, Cottrell drew the bye in round one and used it well, posting an 8.833. Meanwhile, Holt held off Tylan Leach with an 8.999, Williford ran an 8.901 to dispatch Mike Chapman while also clocking the best reaction time of the round at .0245, and Lopes advanced over Seth Leach.

Round two put Cottrell and Holt on a collision course for the final. Cottrell turned on the win light against Sawyer Williford, running an 8.918 while Williford answered with a 9.137. On the other side, Holt took out Lopes with a 9.026 to set up the final matchup.

The final went to Cottrell in convincing fashion. He cut a .0955 reaction time and ran an 8.922 to Holt’s 9.195, securing back-to-back event wins and reinforcing his grip on the points lead. Tim Cottrell continues to be the standard that the rest of the Super Stock field is measured against, and through two events in 2026, nobody has been able to knock him off the top step.

AGM Boosted Bulls

Winner – Chris Moore / Melania
Runner-up – Alex Moore / Hulkamania

AGM Boosted Bulls may have only brought four heavy hitters to Rockingham, but nobody came to play nice. With family pride, boosted horsepower, and bragging rights all on the line, every pass mattered.

Chris Moore put Melania to work right out of the gate, knocking off Chris Burns on Carbon King, while Alex Moore muscled Hulkamania past Louis Rivellino’s Geisha, setting up a brother-versus-brother showdown that had everyone at the fence watching.

When the lights dropped in the final, there was only room for one Moore in the winner’s circle. Chris stayed cool, laid down the better pass, and drove Melania to her first Bulls victory since 2022. Family dinner might get a little awkward, but the trophy is riding home with big brother.

Shore Car Wash Solutions Nitrous Bulls

Winner – David Fondon / Only Fans
Runner-up – Lil Charlie / Fear of God

Nitrous Bulls was pure street-bike warfare from the first pair to the last. Ten killers rolled into the lanes, and nobody was getting a free ride.

David Fondon had Only Fans on kill all day. He opened by sending Cody Lowe and Sonic packing, while Billy Ammons (Side Bitch), Gavin McMichael (Most Wanted), Tony Patton (Big Durty), and Lil Charlie (Fear of God) all survived the opening bloodbath.

Round two thinned the herd. Fondon smoked Most Wanted, Lil Charlie put away Big Durty, and Ammons cruised on the bye. In the semis, Only Fans put Side Bitch on the trailer, while Fear of God advanced to earn one last shot.

The final was worth the wait. Fondon and Lil Charlie threw down in a race that could’ve gone either way, but Only Fans stayed hooked and got to the stripe first. David Fondon left Rockingham carrying the Nitrous Bulls money.

Monster Bulls

Winner – Crowe Teasley / Unhinged
Runner-up – Kevin Dennis / Full Coverage

Unhinged rolled into Rockingham looking like the bike to beat, and by the end of the day, it still was. Crowe Teasley opened with a bye before making quick work of Michael Daddio on Overtime. Then fate handed him another break when 8th Wonder never answered the call for the semifinals.

On the opposite side, Kevin Dennis quietly built his own path to the final. Full Coverage clipped Check Mate, shut down Eye Candy, and caught a semifinal bye to earn a crack at the king.

The championship round was all business. Unhinged did what Unhinged does, leave first, pull hard, and cash checks. Another weekend, another Bulls trophy, and another reminder that if you’re coming for the Monster Bulls crown, Crowe Teasley is still the man standing in the way.

Tommie’s Motorsports DMV Bulls

Winner – Gavin McMichael / Stock Market
Runner-up – Desmond Spaulding / NWA

The DMV Bulls lanes were packed with heavy hitters, but when the smoke settled, Gavin McMichael was the one holding the money.

A first-round bye gave Stock Market a clean start before McMichael went to work, knocking off Mike Davis and Houdini. Nick Hamlett kept Misbehavin alive with a win over Jaguar, while Desmond Spaulding wheeled NWA past Time Machine before catching a bye into round two. Ken Alston and Leather Face also stayed in the hunt.

The semifinals delivered the matchup everyone expected. McMichael shut down Misbehavin, while Spaulding punched his ticket by taking out Leather Face.

Two fast bikes. Two confident riders. One winner.

When the tree dropped in the final, Stock Market made another profitable investment. McMichael parked it in the winner’s circle, grabbed the DMV Bulls title, and kept stacking wins during one of the hottest weekends anyone had in Rockingham.

All Motor Bulls

Winner – Gavin McMichael / Zips
Runner-up – Louis Garcia / 69

Winning one Bulls class is impressive. Winning two in the same weekend is gangster.

Fresh off his DMV Bulls victory, Gavin McMichael climbed aboard Zips and went right back to work.

The opening round wasted no time delivering surprises. Defending class champion LA Payne and Dark Knight were bounced immediately by Louis Garcia on 69, blowing the bracket wide open. Malcolm Phillips (Lil Donkey), David Fondon (Shadow), Pearles Speller (Drizzle), and McMichael all survived the first wave.

Garcia caught a bye in round two while Lil Donkey sent Shadow home, but McMichael wasn’t slowing down, putting Drizzle on the trailer to keep his double-up hopes alive.

Garcia earned his spot in the final after ending Phillips’ run, while McMichael cruised in on a bye. The championship round paired two riders who had earned every inch of pavement.

Garcia’s upset run was one of the stories of the weekend, but Zips was locked in. McMichael delivered another clean pass, sealed the deal, and completed a Bulls-class sweep. Two classes. Two trophies. One unforgettable weekend.

Capital Brand Group 5.60 Index

Winner – Dustin Lee
Runner-up – Ken Strauss

The Capital Brand Group 5.60 Index drew a 37-competitor field, all chasing the same razor-thin target on the eighth mile. Like the 4.60 class, the margin for error here is essentially zero. Run under 5.60 and you break out. Leave the tree too soon and you’re done. With a single qualifying session setting the field, and six rounds of elimination racing standing between the starting line and the winner’s circle, the 5.60 Index demanded both precision and endurance.

David Beshara locked down the number one qualifying spot with a 5.6006, just six ten-thousandths of a second over the index, about as dialed in as it gets on a single shot. Taylor Dunham sat second at 5.6008 as well, barely 0.0002 behind Beshara, and Christopher Smith was right there in third at 5.601. The top of the field was packed impossibly tight.

Dunham’s weekend came to an early and painful end in round one when he red-lighted off the line, handing the race to Madison Santin. It was a brutal way to lose after qualifying so well. Rico Brown also bowed out in round one, running a breakout 5.55 to hand Dustin Lee an opening-round victory.

Lee moved methodically through the rounds. He handled Dustin Davis in round two, then Bradley Jennings in round three, and dispatched David Beshara and Bradley Jennings again in round four as the field continued to thin. In the semi-finals, Jeffrey Santin, who had made a deep and impressive run through the bracket, went red at the tree, ending his day and sending Lee to the final. On the other side, Ken Strauss earned his spot in the final with steady, consistent runs throughout the afternoon.

The final between Lee and Strauss came down to execution under pressure. Both riders cut nearly identical reactions, Lee at .0486 and Strauss at .0482, but Lee found the stripe with a 5.612 to Strauss’s 5.632, running closer to the index to take the win.

Dustin Lee, the class champion in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024, added another event victory to his already impressive resume in the 5.60 Index. And in a testament to just how locked in Lee was all weekend at Rockingham, he didn’t stop there. He also crossed the finish line first in Top Sportsman, making him the only double event winner of the weekend.

Breezewood Farms Top Sportsman

Winner – Dustin Lee
Runner-up – Jeff Stahl

Breezewood Farms Top Sportsman is built on a unique premise. The fastest 32 qualifiers from a massive Pro ET field earn a spot on the Top Sportsman ladder, bracket-style with handicap starts based on each rider’s dial-in. It is its own separate race within a race, and the winner earns the right to re-enter the Pro ET class for a shot at a second victory on the day. With 83 riders competing for those 32 spots, and two full qualifying sessions available, the class got clean runs on Saturday morning before the heat and rain took over the rest of the day.

Tom Dunham grabbed the top qualifying spot with a quick 7.734, a result consistent with his form from the previous event where he also sat in the number one chair. Chris Sulkowski qualified second at 7.761, Jay Windsor third at 7.857, and Dustin Lee, the two-time class champion and current points leader, locked in sixth at 7.951.

Round one delivered its share of drama. Dunham, the number one qualifier, struggled in his opening match against Jeff Stahl and ran well over his dial, handing Stahl the win and sending the top seed home in the very first round. Lee, meanwhile, handled Hank Lovett cleanly to advance. Nick Hamlett took care of Jeremy Teasley, and Randolph Brown powered past Travis Smeltzer. The field lost several other competitors to red lights and breakouts, setting up a wide open second round.

Lee continued to build momentum through rounds two and three, running a 7.906 at 169.94 MPH in round two, the quickest pass and top speed of the round. In the semis, he dispatched Robin Procopio while Jeff Stahl took out Durwood Rawlings, who had made an impressive deep run through the field, to set the final matchup.

The final came down to the tree, and it wasn’t close. Stahl left just a hair too early, cutting a -.0010 red light that ended his chances before the bikes reached mid-track. Lee rolled on through with a 7.986, collecting the win and cementing one of the most complete days of racing in recent XDA memory. Earlier in the afternoon he had taken the 5.60 Index final, and now he was standing in the Top Sportsman winner’s circle too.

Dustin Lee leaves Rockingham with two event wins, the Top Sportsman points lead, and the 5.60 Index championship picture looking very much in his favor. For a racer with two Top Sportsman titles already on his resume, days like Sunday at the Rock are starting to feel familiar.

MPS Racing Pro ET

Winner – Chris Sulkowski
Runner-up – Taylor Dunham

If the win in MPS Racing Pro ET feels like it was hard-earned, that’s because it was. With 79 riders entered and seven rounds of elimination racing standing between the opening light and the winner’s circle, Pro ET at the Superbike Showdown is a full-day commitment that rewards consistency, patience, and the ability to dial in a pass when it matters most.

Chris Sulkowski set the tone early. With his dial set at 7.77, he came out in round one and put down a 7.772 at 168.16 MPH, the quickest ET and fastest MPH of the round, right out of the gate. It was a statement that the man in the seat had the bike in the right window, and he backed it up at every turn. Through rounds two, three, four, five, and six, Sulkowski continued to lay down clean, consistent runs in the 7.80 range, collecting wins over Mark Gorman, Wesley Jones, Chris Bustard, and Jayaunne Jones.

Meanwhile, Taylor Dunham carved a parallel path through the right side of the bracket. Dunham, who had also been a top qualifier in Top Sportsman on Saturday, ran efficiently through each round, dialing in the 8.80 range and getting to the tree in time to advance. His run to the final required the same seven-round gauntlet, and he made it look manageable, reaching the final with enough momentum to make Sulkowski earn it.

The final came down cleanly. Sulkowski rolled to the line, cut a .0173 light, and ran a 7.808 at 164.41 MPH to put the win on the board. Dunham had an .0510 reaction and an 8.911, but the gap on the tree and the gap in the ETs both told the same story. Sulkowski’s machine was tuned and ready from round one through round seven, and that level of execution across an entire day of racing is exactly what it takes to win MPS Racing Pro ET.

Brock’s Performance Street ET

Winner – Patrick Farrow
Runner-up – Shayne Proctor

Brock’s Performance Street ET put competitors through six full rounds of bracket racing before a winner was crowned. Like Pro ET, the sheer volume of riders means you have to be dialed in from the moment you leave the line in round one and keep it going all the way to the final. There is no easy path.

Patrick Farrow was a model of consistency all day. From round one forward he was locked in around the 8.54 to 8.69 range, and Farrow got to the tree in time to back it up at every turn. He posted the low ET and top speed of round one, and he continued to run those numbers when the spotlight got brighter in the middle rounds. By the time the semi-finals arrived, Farrow had proven he had the right combination of machine and execution to go deep.

Shayne Proctor, who had won the previous event and came into the Superbike Showdown as one of the frontrunners to repeat, also made a strong run through the field and found himself in the final alongside Farrow.

The semi-finals played out in unusual fashion. Both finalists advanced when their respective opponents failed to stage, with Farrow and Proctor each breaking the beams to collect the wins and move on. It set up a final that never quite materialized the way Proctor would have wanted. When the lights dropped, Proctor’s bike had problems and he couldn’t make a clean pass, leaving the door wide open for Farrow, who ran an 8.541 to collect the Street ET victory.

Patrick Farrow leaves Rockingham as the event winner, and Shayne Proctor will be back looking to add to his previous event win as the season continues.

Street ET Rule Revision – Gen 2 clutches are legal again!

Gen 2 clutches and other lock-up clutches are legal once again in the Brock’s Performance Street ET class at the XDA! All riders must still release the clutch lever by hand.

A few years ago, the XDA was pressured into banning Gen 2-style clutches in Street ET to make it more competitive for true hand-clutch bikes and to bring more riders from the street into the class. We made the change, and unfortunately, it had the opposite effect on the class. Bike counts in Street ET have declined every year since. The same few riders who were good on a true hand clutch dominated the class, and it never brought in new riders.

The choice was simple… cut the class, cut the purse, or bring back Gen 2 clutches that were previously allowed and try to get the class back to a healthy state.

Because every motorcycle series and racetrack out there allows Gen 2 clutches, this was an easy decision for us.

We decided to make Gen 2 clutches legal again in Street ET, and it is effective immediately. We know we can’t make everyone happy, but we strive to make the majority happy. We want to see good racing and healthy bike counts. So spread the word to other racers, and we hope to see you at XDA this year!

The XDA will return to Maryland International Raceway for the 26th annual WPGC Bike Fest on July 24-26, 2026. Over 600 Professional, Sportsman, and Grudge motorcycle racers will compete, battling it out for over $100,000 in cash purses.
