Kim Dunham Nails First
Motorcycle Win
5/2/2008
– After a few weeks of rainouts, Kim Dunham
and all the SBRA Drag Racers returned to drag
racing Friday evening at Eastside Speedway under
sunny and warm skies. Dunham slowly inched her
way to the final round and was undoubtedly
considered the underdog as she faced Veteran bike
racer Brian Childress. Childress dialed in on a
6.87 while Dunham dialed a 6.99. The difference
came at the tree when Dunham shot a 00.129 light
to Childress 00.3314 light. At the finish line it
was Dunham scoring her first ever win with a 7.04
pass at 107.77 mph. Childress ran to quick as he
broke out running a 6.78 at 112.96 mph on the
6.87 dial. David Everidge and Karen Childress
were the semi finalists.

Craun ran to fast in the final. Craun cut a
better light showing a 0.128 advantage at the
starting line. Dettor ran 47mph for the win while
Craun topped out at 76mph for the runner up spot.

resident Wayne Billhimer grabbed the Trophy
Street cash after getting the win light against
Grottoes driver John McCrary. A close run at the
run at the other end with McCrary hitting 56.51
mph to Billhimer at a 59.47 mph. Billhimer drove
a Ford Ranger to the win while McCrary drove his
familiar baby blue Ford Tempo to the runner up
spot.
