The VP Race Fuels Championship Series for Motorcycles and Snowmobiles proved to be an excellent competitive series in 2007.

At the first event, Brian Carr proved he would be a contender all season with his first victory.  He met Van Smith in the final and barely escaped with a .003 margin of victory.  Mike O’Leary earned a semi-final finish.

The NWDRA Winter Classic was held on April 1^st.  At this event, Mark Canty defeated Roger Wolff in the finals with Len Darnell and Dan Patridge achieving semi-final finishes.  After two events, Brian Carr holds a 30-point lead over four riders, namely, Roger Wolff, Van Smith, Mike O’Leary, and Mark Canty.

The April 15^th event saw a snowmobile defeat a motorcycle in the finals as Jesse Robertson overcame Eric Johns in the finals.  Mark Canty followed his previous win with a semi-final finish and took a 10-point series total lead over Brian Carr with five more riders within 40 points of the leader.

Brian Carr took his second win in the series in a match-up with Mike O’Leary in the finals on April 22^nd.  John D. Martin made the trip from Elk Grove, CA to achieve a semi-final finish.    With his victory, Brian takes a 30-point lead in series point total.

Mike O’Leary  rose to the top in his victory on April 29^th.  Mike ran a 9.179 on a 9.17 dial-in to defeat Eric Johns.  Brian Carr achieved a semi-final finish and maintains a 20-point lead over Mike O’Leary in the series point total.

Brian Carr rode his Suzuki to his third victory of the series on May 6^th in a double break-out final over Mike O’Leary’s Kawasaki.  Mark Canty rode his Yamaha to a semi-final finish.  His victory gives Brian a 40-point lead over Mike after six events.

Mike O’Leary defeats Brian Carr in the semi-finals and goes on to defeat Van Smith in the finals as two Kawasaki riders met in the series’ seventh event on May 13^th.  Mike also earned the bonus 10-point for winning the “Dash-for-Cash” and moved into a tie for first place with Brian Carr in series total at this juncture.

The 2006 Series Champion, Eric Johns, meets Van Smith in the final on May 27^th with, six-time-series-champion, Van Smith running 12.143 on a 12.14 dial-in to earn the victory.  Roger Wolff and Jake Wolfe are semi-finalists.  Mike and Brian are tied for the lead, 100-points ahead of Roger Wolff and Van Smith.

            Brian Carr achieves his fourth victory of the season by riding past Mark Canty in the finals on June 3^rd.  Roger Wolff and Terry Geise earn semi-final finishes at this event, but Brian moves into a 50-point lead over Mike for the series.

            He seems to be unstoppable as Brian Carr does it again – taking his fifth event victory – this time over Eric Johns on June 17^th.  Roger Wolff earns a semi-final finish at this event. 

            Roger Wolff keeps his hot streak going as he takes the victory over Derek Nonamaker’s HD V-Rod Destroyer on July 1^st.   Mark Canty achieves a semi-final finish and Brian maintains a 110-point lead over Mike in the series total.

            On July 14^th, Mike O’Leary defeated Brian Carr in the semi-finals and Eric Johns in the finals to earn his third victory of the series.  Rick Robertson rode his Yamaha snowmobile to the other semi-final finish.  With his victory, Mike is able to reduce Brian’s point-total lead to 80 points.

            July 19^th saw Eric Johns defeat Mark Young via a red-light in the finals.  Never-the-less, Eric had a .006 R/T and would have been nearly impossible to defeat on that round.  Mike Kelly rode his Suzuki to a semi-final finish on this day.

            The next event, held August 5^th, saw (you-guessed-it) Brian Carr meet Mike O’Leary in the finals, with (you-guessed-it-again) Brian Carr taking his sixth series win.  Roger Wolff earned a semi-final finish.  Brian seems to have a strangle-hold 120 point series lead.

            Mike O’Leary  achieves his fourth victory of the series at the final event on August 18^th.  He  defeats Craig Rych in the finals by running exactly a 9.230 on his 9.23 dial-in.  With Brian Carr as a semi-finalist, there is no question as to series point-total leader, and Brian Carr has earned the 2007 VP Race Fuels Motorcycle/Snowmobile Championship.  Mike O’Leary, with his four victories earns runner-up honors, followed by Roger Wolff, Eric Johns, and Van Smith in third through fifth, respectively.  Sixth through tenth positions are earned by Mark Canty, Damon Donner, Jesse Robertson, Kerry Drost, and Rick Tedder, in that order.  We congratulate all riders for an excellent season and hope to see you all again in 2008.
