    I agree glad to see a Suzuki back on top . Probably be some rule book changes next year since the Suzuki's have gotten competitive again. For now Hooray! for the alligator man.

        I went and read up on him. Wow-cool guy. Didn't even begin racing until he was 52? I love that!

          Not bad for a 30+ year old motor design with 2 valves and 53 less cubic inches than the Harleys"Buells". I strongly think they should update the rules to allow more modern designs like the ZX14 and 'Busa, and end the V&H stranglehold on the class and the rules..

            V&H would still show up winning, they'd just go back to Suzukis to do it.

              Pretty sure there is some BIG money being shipped to V&H from Milwaukee....

                NHRA.... No Harley Rules Anticipated.

                Several years ago my nephew was an engineer at Hardly Developed and emailed to say Harley announced they had given a million dollars to Byron Hines to put HD into drag racing.

                The word around the pits was it was more like 4 million. Hines developed.. an engine that the rule books said had to be made available to others. Paul Gast tried to buy one and Hines refused to sell him one. Ergo NHRA

                Byron did lot to advance bike drag racing and has also ruined it to a degree.

                      I am a proud Suzuki owner - and have been waiting for this day to return. good for us - and next year would be nice too - river not rising and good lord willing. ( or a new rule change)
                      SUZUKI , There is no substitute

                            Last week was an all-Suzuki final, Savoie and LE Tonglet. Time to add some weight to the Suzukis......

                              With the added Top Fuel Harley class, maybe the NHRA is giving the Pro Stock class back to the inline fours. Just a thought, I don't keep up on the NHRA much anymore.
