Man Cup Pro Street - ALL Rounds

In APE Pro Street competition, all eyes were on the GSX-R1000’s. Last year at the final Frankie Stotz ran 6.60 four passes in row putting him on the cusp of the first 6.5x pass in Pro Street history. And then earlier this year DME Racing debuted their Chris Connelly GSX-R1000 ridden by the GOAT, Jeremy Teasley. During a private test session at Orlando Speed World Teasley tamed the new 1000 and rumor has it he may have ran a .5X pass. Maybe he did, may he didn’t, but fans have been waiting to see if this new bike would dethrone Stotz from the top of the Orient Express Pro Street GOAT list. In qualifying Teasley came out on top with 6.649 qualifying pass while the best Stotz could squeeze out was a 6.785 in round two of qualifying.

For round three of qualifying the duo agreed to run each other side-by-side in a last attempt for a 6.5x before eliminations, and the Trash Talking on the internet went like wildfire as the keyboard racers placed their bets. Stotz wore out his two-step in the pits as Kent prepped the bike for this round. In the matchup Teasley lost traction a few feet out and Stotz lost power at half track disappointing fans and leaving the first 6.5x on the table for someone else to grab.

In round one of eliminations, Teasley ran a 8.672 to take out teammate Jason Dunigan who lost traction right off the line and aborted the pass. Stotz took out Kovacevich with his best pass of the weekend, a 6.669 to his 7.187. Carlos Olivio who purchased Scott Crawford’s bike at the end of 2018 was running strong with a 6.99 to take out Sydney Marshall on his 7.38 pass. Consistent Chris Connelly Jr took out Luis Sierra with a 6.844 to his 7.268. And with Man Cup’s unconventional 9 bike ladder that gives the first-round bye to the #3 qualifier, Luis Hornedo with a no pressure pass, and ran his personal best of 6.836 at 209.14 mph.

In round two of eliminations teammates, Connelly and Teasley were paired up, and Connelly got the better of Teasley on the tree with a .047 reaction time to Teasley’s .099, Connelly made a nice smooth pass while Teasley had to fight the 1000 down the track eventually letting Connely get around him for the win with a 6.819 to his 6.951. Hornedo gave the round two win to Olivio when cut a -.002 red light. And Stotz who blew his motor after the finish line in round one barely made it back for round two, but since the #2 qualifier was given the round two bye, he was able to just break the beams under power and head back to the pits to keep wrenching.

In round three Connelly had the bye, and Carlos Olivio took out the little red Honda with a 6.921 to Stotz’s 6.949 sending Olivio to his first Pro Street final. Connelly who is no stranger to a final was ready to throw down his best pass of the weekend against Olivio. But Olivio made it easy on him as he jumped the gun with a -.309 red light giving Connelly his third career Pro Street win! Connelly took his time on the tree and then ran a solid 6.795 to make sure everyone at the track knew he was going to take that win either way.
