Karaoke was sung (was that really singing?), shots were drank, and good cleanish fun was had by all.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And when the sun shown again Sunday on Shelby, North Carolina\u2019s Shadyside Dragway, hangovers were hydrated, turbos were spooled, and rubber was burned. THE hot event on the gasoline-burning, Harley-Davidson, motorcycle drag racing calendar ran on and its $25,000 cash payday distributed \u2013 mostly to two legends of the Grudge game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pro Bagger and Street Bagger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For the two top tier Pro Bagger and Street Bagger classes, Cash Days 4 looked much like a repeat of 3. At the end of the day, \u201cBurnout Bruce\u201d Emanuel was sitting on \u201cBoosted Bob\u201d and \u201cTrailer Park\u201d answering a thick phone made out of cash.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Pro Bagger field boiled down to Emanuel on \u201cBoosted Bob\u201d and Khole Sellers from Gforce Racing. Sellers got an .056 to .101 jump at the tree, but (let\u2019s change the name a bit here) \u201cBruceted Bob\u201d drove around 5.02 at 152 mph to 5.30 at 139 for the win.<\/p>\n<p>It was Bruce vs. Tony Boone in the Street Bagger final, and once again, Emanuel and \u201cTrailer Park\u201d took the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlways an honor to run against Bruce Emanuel,\u201d said Boone.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFirst off, thank you to God for blessing me with the talent, strength, and opportunity to do what I love,\u201d said Bruce. \u201cBig shoutout to A1 Cycles for another successful race \u2013 Cash Days 4 was one to remember.\u00a0I was able to take home the win in the biggest Harley Bagger grudge race of the year against a strong team at All American Cycles. Then doubled up and got it done in two Pro classes \u2013 winning Pro Bagger with the event\u2019s quickest and fastest pass on Boosted Bob, and also bringing home the Street Class win on Trailer Park.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of this would be possible without my sponsors,\u201d Bruce added. \u201cTrailer Park Motorsports, Moonshine Harley-Davidson, Moonshine Horsepower, Vance &amp; Hines Motorsports, and GRC Crankshafts. I appreciate everything y\u2019all do.\u00a0Special thanks to my best friend and the best builder\/tuner in Harley Bagger racing, Cullen Gillis \u2013 couldn\u2019t do it without you. Appreciate all the sponsors for the payouts, the staff for putting on a great event, all the spectators who came out and showed love, and Eddie Reed. We\u2019re just getting started.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>True Street Bagger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Always displaying a much more quiet and humble persona in person than he does online, Bruce had a premonition that he wouldn\u2019t sweep all three bagger classes this year. Sitting on last year\u2019s winner \u201cMoonshine\u201d in the now sun-drenched lanes before the start of round two of True Street, he said, \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of riders in this class this year.\u201d And one of them was his teammate. \u201cDez is a good rider.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>True enough, Bruce lost to Dez Cue on \u201cNoisey Boy\u201d in the semis when \u201cMoonshine\u201d failed to grab third gear. \u201cHad an .050 light to his .146,\u201d reported Bruce. \u201cYep, I had a chance to sweep it again. Missed a shift. We gonna replace the transmission.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dez then had wheelie masterblaster Desmond \u201cKill Bill\u201d Spaulding on the Hawes Racing Bike in the final, and this time it was Kill Bill with the win.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my closest round was probably the finals against Dez,\u201d said Kill Bill. \u201cIt\u2019s just a lil\u2019 True Street Road King from Hawes Racing. It\u2019s a lil\u2019 different from riding the Grudges sportbikes that I\u2019m used to and known for riding, but it\u2019s definitely just as exciting and competitive as the Grudge sportsbikes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would like to thank Hawes Racing for reaching out and giving me an opportunity to try something different, also giving me an amazing bike to compete with. Would also like to think the guys that put on the event. Not sure of everyone\u2019s name just yet, but it was amazing event.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Non-Bagger<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No one\u2019s yet caught up to Jason Crisp\u2019s new-for-last-year build, as he again won Non-Bagger. He even raced the same final round opponent: A1 employee Andrew Hefner. Crisp took the tree with an .035 to Hefner\u2019s .067, and ran a 5.53 at 126 mph to Andrew\u2019s 5.71 with a turbo-pumped 132 mph trap speed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe pretty much showed up with the same bike from last year,\u201d said Crisp. \u201cMade a few small changes and hoped for the best, as we hadn\u2019t done any testing prior to Cash Days.\u00a0I was pretty consistent low 5.5s and knew if anyone was gonna beat me, they\u2019d have their work cut out for them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to thank my wife and son for their help all weekend, and my father for the help building and maintaining it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ET Bracket Race<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Robbie Bryant took out Cash Days 3 Gamblers Race winner Byron Cass in the ET Bracket Race final.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was my first time coming to this event,\u201d said Bryant. \u201cMy nephew and I were supposed to be in Maryland for the XDA race, but it was canceled due to rain. We had looked Friday for somewhere that was racing because we were itching to get on our motorcycles. We found out Shadyside had an event going on so we hooked up to the trailer and headed out at 11:45 pm Friday to make the four and a half hour trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe racing on Saturday was fast paced. Made it down to 12 motorcycles before the rain came and the race was canceled till Sunday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSunday afternoon came and we went back to the lanes to pull chips and see who would race who. This chip draw came with controversy on how things were done on bye runs. My nephew should\u2019ve had the bye run being he had the best light the round before on Saturday. They don\u2019t do that there, they put a bye chip in the bag and if you\u2019re lucky enough to get that chip you have a free pass to the next round. Everywhere else we race the person that gets the bye is the person who did their job and cut a good light on the tree.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy nephew Wesley and I pulled each other for the third round and we are riding the same motorcycle. Since it was my motorcycle, Wesley let me get a free pass into the next round. I ended up going on to win the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is my second time at Shadyside and my second win at that track. My first win there was at the Hogs Gone Wild event a few years back. All in all I had a good weekend of racing and I\u2019ll probably be back to see if I can take another win at Shadyside.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gamblers Race<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cass also runnered-up in Friday night\u2019s Gamblers Race, with Bryce Creek taking the win.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter three years in a row of being put out in the finals or semifinals by Byron Cass, I finally got it done Friday night in the ET Gamblers Race in the finals against him,\u201d said Creek. \u201cI ran a 7.07 on a 7.05 dial against his breakout 5.91 on a 5.97 dial. It was a reaction time win! DFH (that\u2019s Donnie F*****\u2019 Huffman) always pounded in my head \u2018Don\u2019t be late!\u2019 and it shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThanks to all of our season sponsors: Man O\u2019War Harley-Davidson of Lexington, Kentucky, Metal Supermarkets of Lexington, 317 Cycles, All Pro Contractors, Huffman Performance &amp; Service of Lakeland, Florida, and R&amp;R Cycles of Lakeland. \u201cCash Days 4 was a success for Shadetree Racing. See you all in the lanes at a track near you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shutdown Area<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rain didn\u2019t stop the wild-style events of the Old Town Revival (OTR) Spring Fling. The Minibike Misfits races, Hippy\u2019s Minibike Hillclimb, Rebel Spirit Burnout Pit, WIFMIX Freestyle Stunt Shows, Hot Rod Row, Run What You Brung, and live music just got sloppier and more fun than ever.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven though the rain came through Saturday afternoon, we still had a great night and finished up strong Sunday,\u201d said promoter Beland. \u2018Nothing can stop the highest paying, lowest cost race of the year! Cash Days 5 is booked for 2027 so don\u2019t miss it! The only way to lose is to stay home!\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"post-modified-info\">This story was originally published on May 5, 2026. <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/DI_flat_red-e1711481551475.png\" width=\"20px\" alt=\"Drag Illustrated\"><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/grudge-legends-score-cash-days-4-bagger-wins-at-shadyside-dragway\/\">Grudge Legends Score Cash Days 4 Bagger Wins at Shadyside Dragway<\/a> first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/dragillustrated.com\/\">Drag Illustrated<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When rain set in after round one of eliminations at Mike Beland\u2019s Cash Days 4, the party simply moved under awnings and into trailers until the bad weather subsided.
