Australian Pro Slammer ranks have suffered a major blow with the announcement that two -time and reigning champ Paul Mouhayet will not return for the 2019-2020 400 Thunder season that commences at Sydney Dragway, November 1-2.
Speculation that Mouhayet and his team Moits Racing were quitting has been rife since the Sydney based team won their second PS title at the Winternationals in June.

Jerry Savoie tossed to the ground his 6.774-second, 198.66-mph winning time slip Sunday, as if it didn’t matter.
It does. However, the Pro Stock Motorcycle’s hottest racer at the outset of this year’s Countdown to the Championship is not caught up in possessions. He has the 2016 championship. He has “things,” including a loving family, a successful alligator-farming business in Louisiana, a cattle ranch in Mexico, and an outstanding drag-racing bike team.
