Winner - David Fondon / Runner-up - Jyrec Givens
#1 Qualifier - Jyrec Givens 8.877
Record - David Fondon 8.742 at 161.32 mph
The turnout was phenomenal in the ‘New for 2020’ HTP Performance Super Stock rider’s class with twenty-five riders showing up to compete. The class features stock wheelbase motorcycles with a limited about of modifications. This class is all about the riders and what they can do to squeeze the most power out of these motorcycles with just their clutch hand in control. The challenge with a stock wheelbase motorcycle in drag racing is controlling the torque off the starting line to keep that front tire on the ground for a quick and smooth transition from launch to acceleration.
Jyrec Givens, on his 2017 Suzuki GSX-R1000, took the #1 qualifying spot running an 8.877. Jyrec took that advantage and turned it into a final-round appearance to face David Fondon. Fondon set two records on his way to the finals. In eliminations round two, Fondon set the MPH record to 161.33, and the ET record in the semi-final with an 8.742 run. With all the record-setting, it was not surprising to see the Puerto Rico rider take the win with an 8.860 to Given’s losing 8.963. The riding in this class was impressive and fun to watch!
