Shakedown at Palm Beach Thrills in Inaugural .
Joining Jenkins in the winners circle at Jupiter, Florida's Palm Beach International Raceway were Danny Lowry (Outlaw 10.5), Scotty Gaudagno (Drag Radial / Limited Street), Bruno Massel (Pro Import), Ronnie Wilson (X275), and Ron Procopio (Pro Drag Bike).
Massel dominated the Pro Import division from start to finish by scoring the win from the pole position. He won with a 4.524 second run at 157.19 over the valiant effort of Aruban Frans Ponson.
Eager young student Rickie Jones scored exceptionally high marks in his Pro Modified debut. But in the end, his wise, experienced teach, Shannon Jenkins, showed him how to solve the eighth-mile winning equation March 6 at the inaugural Shakedown at Palm Beach.
In the Outlaw 10.5 division, Lowry, of Griffin, Ga., used an incredible .004 reaction time to get the best of Scott Filkins, who came up .005 short at the stripe. Lowry won with a 4.339, 183.79.
Gaudagno make his long trip from Brooklyn, NY, worth it by claiming the Drag Radial/Limited Street division over Steve Jackson. Just like Lowry, in the final round of Outlaw 10.5, Gaudagno used a quicker starting line reaction as the determining factor at the finish line with a 4.535 to 4.483 decision.
Wilson starting from the No. 3 position in the X275 division knocked off the division’s top runner Jeff Wallace during the final round. He won with a 5.048 at 140.50.
Procopio, a regular in the ADRL’s Pro Extreme Motorcycle, scored the Pro Drag Bike title at the expense of ADRL series champion Kim Morrell. Procopio and Morrell recorded identical 4.121 but the deciding factor was his quicker .041 reaction.
PapoRacingTeam would like to congratulate Team3G Racing and owner/driver Frans Ponson for this big accomplishment. Keep it up for the rest of the 2011 season.
