Southern Nationals at Atlanta

WTF? HD took 1st and 2nd in the pro-stock bike race. Suzuki was 3 and 4.

The Zuks were quicker off the line but the HD machines started pulling hard mid way and just blew past by the finish.

What are these guys running?

Have you seen who's piloting these "Harleys" ?

Well I admit I am not up on who's who in the MC drag racing world. All I can say is that the Zuks clearly beat them out at the launch but got smoked at the finish.

For example Gene Scali had a RT of .006 against the winner GT Tonglet (.045) in the semis.

I would attribute the victory in this case more to the bike than the rider.

Here is some linkage

It was all an illusion. You were seeing things

Try bigger throttle bodies, more displacment. If all were even the out comes would be much different.
