Bristol Dragway Street Fights

Team Hurley USA "King of the Strip" True Street Challenge Champions Crowned At Thunder Valley

The inaugural season of the Team Hurley USA King of the Strip True Street Challenge presented by Mac Tools reached an exciting conclusion during the Aug. 30 Borla Back To School Bash at Bristol Dragway’s Street Fights.

Jon Phillips earned top honors in the 9-second class with a 9.025 average time during his three passes. He also collected $1,000 as the season champion for the 9-second index.

Chuck Ryan took home the winner’s trophy in the 10-second class by averaging a 10.191 elapsed time during the evening. The win also sealed the 10-second class championship and $1,000 dollars for Ryan.

Jonathan Williams’ 11.050 average E.T. was good enough to take the win in the 11-second class, while his season-long performance helped him earn the 11-second index championship.

Scott Vestal won the 12-second season championship as well as the season finale. His average 12.085 E.T. secured the victory in the final race.

Johnny Morris, with a 13.286 average, took the final first place in the 13-second division; however, Michelle Hachten will go to the bank with the $1,000 check for winning the championship in that division.

In 14-second competition, Allen Ottinger’s 14.107 average earned the victory, but it wasn’t enough to take the season championship away from Chris Johnson.
