A '80s customer has been trying to get a Pro-Stock M/C operation together,and offered my son a ride for the Gators.
Having no real seat time on the bike,and a non-working computer(can't manage a 3 stage clutch without a lot of guess work),my son gave it his best shot.Motor started going away on the 3rd round of qualifying.No spare 2 valve motor (Suzuki)  
On a happy note,another old '80s customer,Hector Arana won P/SM  
Long time friend Bobby Lagana's son did well,for a privateer,in T/F dragster.  
Now my son needs to get his Pro Mod bike ready for next weekend season opener.Need to do some valve work(16) for it.  
John
Thanks for the interest.

It looked like the stars were aligned for Bobby Lagana in T/F dragster for awhile, didn't it?

Blowing the tires away WILL do it everytime.  Would have been great to see him in the final........

Too bad Angelle a 3 time Champ & no sponsor,doesnt have a ride yet.

Whats with HDs PS V-Rod allowed to have 4 valves ?.....

[jsachs1]

Per NHRA,Harley applied in '06 to be 4 valve approved at a later date.
IMO,I think V&H is feeling out the class right now,and knowing the genius Byron is,we'll be seeing some astonishing times with these motors after a few more races.Maybe right after DSR starts running their new 4V Suzuki motors.
P/SM is a never ending money pit.Ain't like it was in the '80s.
