Another bouncing back after a less than stellar 2005 is Chris Reed, pack leader for the infamous Hyena dragbike collective. Having scrapped a fair amount of aluminum last season, Bois managed to slip into third spot in the Super Street Bike ladder, but lost out to rookie Nigel Barker (far lane) in their first round match up.
A new car for 2006 is Gary Springford's Mitsubishi Shogun (Dodge Raider). The ultra short wheelbase and lack of aerodynamics suggest that the newest addition to the Paul Marston Racing stable will prove to be something of a active driving experience as the big block Pontiac is dialed in.
Pat and Steve Talbot field one of the best prepared entries in the Super Pro bracket. Their Mopar-powered and nitrous-assisted rail has suffered from gearbox woes in the past, but managed a promising second spot in qualifying and had made it past the first round of eliminations before the rain came.
With his fuel Harley not ready for the season opener, reigning National Association of SuperTwins Fuel champion Chris Stebbings did double duty onboard the Black Bear HD dealership's "Destroyer," running in both the Gas and Fuel brackets as they shake down the newly arrived factory built import.
