Although
he was
quickest
in every
round of
competition,
Greene was
tested in
the final
when
McBride, a
former
NHRA Pro
Stock
rider from
Lewisville,
N.C., got
a brief
starting
line
advantage
before
losing it
at half
track.
Greene won
going
away,
covering
the
Rockingham
quarter
mile in
7.127
seconds to
7.260 for
McBride.
Other
winners at
the event
that drew
430
entries
included
Vincent
Demito
of
Collegeville,
Pa, in the
Orient
Express
60-Inch
Sport Bike
class;
Shane
Ratliff of
Roseville,
Mich., in
the
popular
Heavyweights
category
for riders
weighing
240 pounds
or more;
and Mark
Eckles
of
Statesville,
N.C., in
the
Honda-Suzuki
of Sanford
5.60
Heads-Up.
Greene's
Outlaw Pro
Street
victory
didn't
play a
role in
determining
the season
champion
in the
featured
category.
That came
down to a
second
round
showdown
between
Tony
Girardi
of
Hollywood,
Fla., and
Chris
Moore of
Greer,
S.C.
Girardi
came into
the season
finale
trailing
Moore by a
single
point, but
his second
round win
enabled
him to
move
around the
Carolina
rider for
the title.
The most
impressive
of the
winners
was
Demito,
who took
out No. 1
qualifier
and series
champion
Mike Slow
of
Bensalem,
Pa., in
the
semifinals
and No. 2
qualifier
John Flood
of
Oakland,
N.Y., in
the final.
Ratliff
beat new
series
champion
Ehren
Litten
of
Lewisburg,
N.C., in
the
semifinals
en route
to his
Heavyweights
victory,
shutting
Litten
out of the
final
rounds at
Rockingham
for the
first time
in 2004.
Stanley
Russell of
Gray, Ga.,
and Carl
Lucas of
Wilson,
N.C., were
the Pro
Bracket
winners.
Russell
also won
Sunday's
Street
Bracket.
Racing was
suspended
late
Saturday
night in
the first
of the
Street
Bracket
races and
the money
was
divided
among
Tammy
Stewart of
Richmond,
Va.,
Dazz
Allen of
Springfield,
Va.,
Bernard
Varner of
Akron,
Ohio and
Louis
"Kip"
Green of
Baltimore,
