Winner - Ehren Litten 6.511
Runner-up - Jeremy Teasley 6.502
#1 Qualifier - Richard Gadson 6.463
Orient Express Racing Pro Street brought out the horsepower as personal records dropped all weekend long. In qualifying, seven personal records were broken. The most impressive was Richard Gadson's 6.463 that sent him to the number one spot in qualifying bumping out Jeremy Teasley's 6.476 pass. This time also moves him to the number two spot on the GOAT List (Greatest of all Time).
Other racers that improved their ET records in qualifying were Ryan Schnitz 6.619, Tony Ficher 6.711, Greg Wallace 6.745, Ethan Barkley 7.016 an Chris Edwards with a 7.047. Barkley also bumps Aston out as the 'Quickest Canadian Racer at XDA.' Barkley also went on to run a steller 6.84 on Sunday in testing after his first-round loss.
In round one of eliminations Gadson, Teasley, Schnitz, Ficher, Ehren Litten, Frankie Stotz, Rodney Williford, and Chris Moore all take wins. Tony Ficher once again improved his personal best time to a 6.674 at 214mph.
Ryan Schnitz improved his best ET to a 6.603 this round. And Jordan Haase who struggled in qualifying, took a first-round loss to end his chance at a VMP repeat win.
Frankie Stotz in round three of qualifying hurt his motor when a cross-threaded spark plug shot out of his head when he shifted to second gear. He worked until 3am to get it fixed for Sunday. However, when Stotz left the tree something was wrong, and he had to abort the pass. This could have been an easy win for his opponent Greg Wallace, but Wallace cut a -.005 light sending Stotz on to the next round.
In round two Litten, Teasley, Williford, and Gadson all took wins. All the winners made six-second passes sending the toughest racers to the semi-final round.
In the semi-final Ehren Litten took out Gadson with new personal best ET of 6.480 to Gadson’s 6.543. Litten's teammate Williford would take a loss to Teasley.
On the next pairing, Williford cut a better light. And as Teasley left the starting line, he had some traction problems and Williford drove away from him. Teasley started gaining ground back on Williford, and at the thousand-foot mark Williford's front wheel came up ever so slightly and opened the window for Teasley to get around him at the finish line. This round win puts Teasley three points ahead of Williford going into next month’s DME Racing Fall Nationals.
In the final round Litten took the starting line advantage cutting a .038 light to Teasley's .060 light. Litten was out on Teasley initially, but by the 330' mark he caught up, and they stayed side-by-side through the finish line. The reaction would win this race as Litten took the win with a 6.511 at 225 mph to Teasley's quicker 6.502 at 226 mph.
The next race will be crucial for both Williford and Teasley as they both have everything on the line to win the 2019 championship. While Williford is a multi-time champion with the XDA series, Teasley has never held the Pro Street title with this series.
