XDA - Xtreme Motorcycle Drag Racing Association 29th Annual Platinum General Services Spring Nationals Maryland International Raceway April 21-23, 2023 Orient Express Racing Pro Street Winner - Rodney Williford Orient Express Racing Pro Street once again delivered on-track action with several personal bests and several new riders making their marks. In round one of eliminations, Litten put a .023 light on Jordan Haase and quickly got out in front of him; however, at about half track, Litten started losing momentum, and Haase came around him to take the win. Despite the loss, seventeen-year-old Litten has already shown he will be a player this season. Mark Rendeluk also debuted with a new DME Racing built Turbo Hayabusa. He couldn't get pre-season testing in and made his maiden voyage on Thursday before the event with an impressive at 214 mph. Rendeluk has been in the quarter mile on his record-breaking Pro Open machine, so he is no stranger to the speed. He quickly learned a new riding style and qualified with a at mph. Rendeluk will land on the #26 spot of the Pro Street GOAT list and the #21 spot on the MPH list. He went on to win the first round of eliminations with a over Ricky Wood. In round two, he had a bye after teammate Jason Dunigan could not continue due to an unusual valve train failure, which ended his hopes for an event win. In the semi-final, Rendeluk left before the tree was activated to end his weekend and sent Jordan Haase to the final round. Defending class champion Rodney Williford showed up and did what he does best; he applied the pressure. In the last round of qualifying on Saturday, he ran a to take the top qualifying position. In round one of eliminations, Ryan Bonitatis reset his record to a as he took a win over Jamie Lopes. However, the victory was short lived when he found himself up against Williford in the next round. Williford ran a , defeating Bonitatis's to move on to the semi-final. In the semi-final Williford ran a taking a win over Darion Payne's . Jordan Haase, who failed to qualify for the World Cup Finals in November, put in the hard work in the off-season to prep for a successful 2023 season. Haase qualified with a and went on to win round one against Litten, round two against Caleb Holt, and Rendeluk in the semi-final. However, his semi-final win came at a cost as his output shaft decided to break out of the cases. With Haase unable to make the final round, and Williford on his third motor of the weekend, Pro Street had its most anticlimactic win in history when Williford took the win by breaking the beams with his bike under power for the win. Williford starts another season leading the Orient Express Racing Pro Street points chase. However, there is enough talent in the class that he could be knocked off his perch next race. Will another team be able to get their ducks in a row? Come to Virginia Motorsports Park on June 2-4 to find out! -- FINAL W - RODNEY WILLIFORD / Broke Beams for Win.
