On Sunday in WMRRA's premier class, Performance Coatings Formula Ultra, Eli Edwards, aboard his SpeedDealer/WOW Baking Company, Dunlop shod Yamaha R1 and Ross DeLong on his HDFFC, Dunlop shod Suzuki GSXR1000 had an epic battle.
Draft passing into T1, inside passes into T4, it was a back and forth battle which resulted in Ross and Eli breaking the track record multiple times, until Eli put down an amazing lap of 1:25:548, besting the previous record by 4 tenths of a second!
Ross attempted to draft by Eli at the line but fell short by .038 of a second!
