The Staff of RacewayPark and the Top Street Bike racers would like to thank all the sponsors for supporting the 2009 Orient Express Top Street Bike program at RacewayPark – Englishtown, NJ . Thanks to the help of Skip, Jen and Joe of Orient Express, World Wide Bearings, Del's Performance Cycles, DragBike.com, DragBikePhotos.com, Crotch Rocket Racing, Psychobike.com and Bikeland.org for allowing us to post the results!
The Orient Express Top Street Bike Top Dog Bounty Race will be held on October 24th and will pay double payout to any racer that beats a “Top Dog” or remains a “Top Dog”. This race is open to all Top Street Bike racers. The winners of each Top Street Motorcycle event are considered the “Top Dogs”. If you beat a “Top Dog” in the first round, you are now the “Top Dog”. If you are a “Top Dog” and make it to the money rounds, the semi finals, your payout will be doubled. The title of “Top Dog” does not carry over past the first person that beats a “Top Dog”. In other words, if the person who beats a “Top Dog” loses, that winner is not a “Top Dog”.
The Orient Express Top Street Bike points series races of 2009 are held on Saturday mornings 9am: July 25…August 22, 29…October 24, 31…
The 1st. place Top Street Bike points leader as of August 29th, will join Team Raceway Park at the NHRA Division 1 Summit ET Finals at Maple Grove in September!
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to call the RacewayPark office 1-732-446-7800. Remember Top Street Bike is an all run class, everyone gets to compete!

I lived in NJ for a couple of years...not too far from Englishtown...but I didn't drag race back then. Go figure.
How tight are the margins usually, Rick? ET vs dial?

It use to be a 32 run field and # 1 qualifier gets $50 and a plaque...
They changed it to an all run but kept the qualifier as that also gets you the bye in the 1st. if its an even field then #1 qualifier gets second round bye...

Interesting.......
Most places I have ever seen in a all run bracket do the bye by reaction time......, not the quickest bike.
Guess it promotes a quicker field......, to a point.
