RIDING OFF INTO THE SUNSET
A stunning Virginia sunset provides a pictur-
esque backdrop as eventual Pro Extreme world
champion Mike Recchia backs up from a burnout.
PILOT LIGHT
Lou Sciortino’s beautiful 2006
Corvette was one of 15 Outlaw 10.5
entries in the Pilot Electric 10.5 class,
added to the World Finals lineup
just weeks before the event.
SHOWBOAT
Shane Eperjesi, who’s also a proven Top
Dragster pilot, made his only PDRA start
of the season aboard one of three Grothus
Drag Bikes entries. The other two were
ridden by multi-time event winner Brunson
Grothus and his younger brother, Brody.
BLOWING THE DOORS OFF
Scott Farley’s screw-blown Pro
Extreme ‘70 Camaro lost its
driver’s-side door twice during
wheels-up launches in qualifying.
