Pro Stock Qualifying at Auto Club of Southern California NHRA Finals

GEICO Powersports Suzuki rider Karen Stoffer managed to take the lead by burning a 6.982 second run at the Auto Club event in California, and no one could better that mark. Andrew Hines of H-D pulled the second fastest run, with Larry Cook only one-hundredth of a second behind him. Current points leader Hector Arana only made it to fifth - and Matt Smith, 2007 Champion, was outside the top 12! Sounds like the season could end with a twist!

It will be televised on some channels - check your local listings to see if you will be able to see it.

Andrew Hines Takes Win at Las Vegas NHRA Nationals

The attached link is full of hype about the Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts - more than usual it seems - so you only have to read about half of the article to get your results...

NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Saturday Qualifying - Late

For some reason, I cannot find quickly updated NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle News until nearly 36 hours after the events - odd. Anyway, Hector Arana continued his late-season domination and grabbed the number 1 slot for the Sunday race. Hines was second and Nitro Fish rider Matt Smith pulled in at third. Once I get results from Sunday, I will post them here...

Hector Arana Tops Friday Qualifying for Pro Stock Motorcycle

The Ninth Annual NHRA Las Vegas Nationals went well for series leader Arana and his Buell team. He was number 1 on the day with a 6.979 at 192.03 - rather good time, but H-D man Andrew Hines and Suzuki-mounted Matt Smith are right behind him. Today had two more qualifying rounds (will post when I receive) and the main will be tomorrow, Sunday, 1 November 2009. This is the 23rd of 24 rounds...
