Orient Express Pro Street G.O.A.T. List

Last Update on 12/12/2019

The 2019 Pro Street season has come to close with our last update of the year. Many racers have made tremendous advancements in ET’s and MPH’s, that on paper, look like they were achieved on a Top Fueler rather than a no-bar street tire machine. The 2018 season closed out with the battle for the elusive 6.5x ET falling just short with Frankie Stotz’s 6.601. We now have seven riders that have made competition passes under 6.60 with Jeremy Teasley on the DME Racing GSX-R1000 holding the top spot with w 6.384. Twelve riders have now surpassed 220mph with the fastest being held by Williford Racing’s Ehren Litten at 232.59 mph. And now a nitrous bike holds the #2 spot on the Orient Express GOAT list at 6.40 @ 221.78 mph! Yes, that happened as well as making Brad Mummert eyes go wide, and rumor has it Richard Gadson might have been stretched a half-inch taller on that pass. Pro Street 2019 has garnered some very impressive performance improvements. 

 Newcomers Shawn Tokach, Josh Affholder, and GT Tonglet now have Pro Street in their blood and will be back for 2020. Rodney Williford, Jason Dunigan, Gaige Herrera, Brett Ware, Ryan Bonititas, and Ryan Hable all shaved a bit off of their ET’s with Gabe Frederick knocking off over a tenth and running 6.585 to win the Man Cup finals. Brad Christian and Lorenzo Ortiz made a small step closer to leaving the 7’s and are hungry for a 6-second timeslip. Speed improvements include Justin Shakir 223.84, Jason Dunigan 221.09, and Gabe Frederick with a 226.32mph pass. 

2019 ends with a total of 47 racers in the 6-second zone and a 6.6 timeslip required to break into the top 15. Turbocharged Funnybikes are making a big comeback, and its just in time too, otherwise we would be seeing street tire bikes running quicker and faster down the quarter-mile. We wish everyone a quick and fast 2020 and can’t wait to see the smiles and celebrations as they strive to achieve their new personal bests.
