Congrats to the racers that lowered their personal bests at the XDA Bike Bash. Rodney Williford once again made an appearance in the winner’s circle with his 6.357 performance in the final round solidifying his “Quickest Hayabusa” ET and moving him to the number 2 spot overall with only Jeremy Teasley’s 6.346 standing in the way of the number 1 spot.

Right beside Rodney and making his second consecutive final round appearance was Jason Dunnigan who posted a 6.433ET and a backed-up XDA record run of 234.66mph. Jason and his team have been improving all season and are looking for another final-round appearance at the DME Racing Fall Nationals.

Jordan Angelo is starting to get a hang of the Brad Mummert Nitrous GS and posted a 6.700 ET.

Longtime racer Shawn Pinkney improved his best to a 7.375. While many may look at this as just another pass in a field that had a 6.375 posted at the same event, Shawn’s last update on the GOAT list occurred in October 2011 at the MIROCK Fast By Gast Fall Nationals at MIR where he ran a 7.409 ET. Shawn is not a conventional Pro Street racer and rides a turbocharged Kawasaki ZX-14 against a field of Suzuki Hayabusas (and of course, the Old Skool Nitrous GS). Shawn is not the smallest rider to ever throw his leg across the seat of a Prostreet bike either.  Shawn probably isn’t going to make the headlines of “Quickest ET” or “XDA Record MPH”, in fact when he ran the 7.409 over 10 years ago, Ryan Schnitz posted a 6.907 to be the first Pro Street bike in the 6’s, and Shawn, of course, wasn’t the focus of the post-event report. In a sea of Suzuki’s, Shawn is making his mark and having fun at the track with his family.

The next event for Pro Street racers to improve upon their personal bests is the XDA DME Fall Nationals at Maryland International Raceway on September 23rd-25th…and Shawn Pinkney has noted that he will be there.
