V-RODS QUALIFY IN MEMPHIS

Another rainy race day for the racers of the NHRA. This time, it was Memphis, Tennessee. Before the showers started on Sunday, both V-Rod riders were able to qualify for the show. GT qualified 11th with a 7.216 et /179.42 mph run and Andrew qualified 5th with his 7.157 et / 180.50 mph pass. Rain showers hit on Sunday, delaying the final rounds of racing until Monday.

Entering the eliminations on an unusual Monday, the V-Rod's were well positioned in the ladder. Hines won his first round of eliminations with a reaction time of 0.008 seconds and the fastest run of the round with a 7.168 et / 177.60 mph to beat Sean Conner. GT was eliminated in the first round by Mike Berry with his 7.266 et vs. Mike's 7.229 et.

In the second round, Hines had another strong competitor with Fred Collis. Andrew knew he had to be on, and he unfortunately jumped the gun and the light with a 0.015 red light, handing the win to Fred. Reggie Showers went on to win the event in at Memphis over Fred Collis' red light in the finals. That's the third race Reggie has won in a row - the Pro Stock Bike Klash, Indy and now Memphis.

Stay tuned to see what happens at the next race October 3-5 in Reading, PA. GT and Andrew will be pushing for a win in the NHRA Pro Stock Bike class. Andrew is currently ranked 8th and GT is 11th in the Pro Stock Bike ladder with just 3 races to complete the season.
