Martin, Pesz, and No. 1 qualifier Shelly Payne also took home some bonus money from Englishtown, thanks to Pro Mod Challenge veteran Mike Castellana and his Western Beef company. The Western Beef Showdown finished with Martin scoring a $3,000 bonus, and Pesz and Payne grabbing $1,000 apiece.

Mike Castellana himself reached the quarterfinals of the Showdown before bowing out against Jay Payne in a close race, 6.22 to 6.23.

The Pro Mod Challenge record book continued to take a beating in the 2006 season. The track e.t. record (6.0303 set last season by Al Billes) held up, but the speed record fell to Shelly Payne (above), who posted a 237.42 during qualifying.
