2016 WORLD FINALS

Each NHDRO event shines a spotlight on a different class, and on September 23-25 at the World Finals it’s McIntosh Machine & Fabrication Pro Street’s turn. Turbo flames will pop and blast on Indianapolis’ Lucas Oil Raceway starting line deep into the night on Saturday as the world’s quickest streetbikes compete with no less than $5000 on the line in the Big Money Pro Street Shootout, then again for the regular purse in Sunday’s eliminations.

And the timing couldn’t be better, because as title bouts wage all around at NHDRO’s final race of the season, the Pro Street championship has already been wrapped up by Michigan racer Mark Paquette. After skipping the Huntsville opener, Paquette has won every single round in a devastatingly dominant performance on his turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa.

But Shootouts are often won by wildcards. Joey Jobbe was a surprise finalist in August, can he claim the $5K? What about Brandon Mitchan, Jordan Haase, or Louisville runner-up Brandon Coley? Will this be their breakthrough win? Read more of the Pre-Race report, click here.
