I saw this guy in Rockingham at the all American Fuel Drags. Off the show room floor rear tire, a member of the "Stock Motor Mafia" only a Airshifter wired thru his horn button to activate. he was just able to pull high tens in the 1/4 mile with the setup you see...  |

And No there was no Ommpa Loompas doing Neutral drops by Hand. Any Squid trying that would have been properly put on the trailer and sent packing..  |

"I saw this guy in Rockingham at the all American Fuel Drags."
Indian should compete with Harley in NHRA drag racing.
Harley dominated Pro Stock Bike so completely, that NHRA replaced it with an all Harley nitro burning class.
In recent years, Harley/Buell engines dominated Pro Stock Bike just like the hemi engine still dominates Top Fuel Dragster and Funny Car racing.

I would sure like to see Indian jump into the game. Diversity and Competition is always good for the sport and the end user. As far as HD domination the rules were essentially written for HD and its pushrod v-twin... Ive been involved in closed door rules congress and its always who ever is going to spend the most money gets to write the rules.. and thats fine HD breathe new life into mc drag racing as Japan could care less and provides no support. Given equal displacements the V-twin simply cannot compete. If i remember correctly maximum displacement for the HD is 160ci and the inline fours 107ci. its the same gig in road racing the twins get more displacement and or a weight reduction. Two Cylinders 98% nitro and the number thrown around is 1,000hp  |

The "Bulldog" Jay Turner lives about ten minutes from me in Julian NC. a one gas pump town.
When he light it up the music can be heard for miles..
And the Smell, the Smell of 98%nitro, wish they made it into cologne

Angel Sampey dominated pro stock bike for a few years on her suzuki. Seems like the Harleys took over after her retirement. -I like watching the Top Fuel Harleys. Besides being faster, they have a raw, hot rod appearance. The goodies were covered up by a lot of smooth body work in Pro Stock Bike.   |
