It was with great anticipation that we drove the short distance to Commerce, GA for the Stone Mountain Harley-Davidson Southern Nationals. This was to be our first race on the new bike on a 1/4 mile strip! We were very proud to be running the SE 3 number plate, however the first pass really opened our eyes. Right off the trailer, the bike ran a 10.16 at 127 MPH! While this was quite exciting, it was also somewhat of a nightmare as Super Eliminator is a 10.90 class! It's pretty near impossible to consistently slow the bike 8 tenths of a second. We finally made it above the index with an 11.24 second pass qualifying us #28 in a 30 bike field. In the first round of eliminations, we were up against the Lummus Harley Davidson entry, also a quick bike, and we both broke out. The Lummus entry broke out less and went on to the next round. We stayed and watched the rest of the racing action and took some solstice in the fact that we were going to HAVE to move up to the Super Sport 10.30 index class for the next race. I will still run the SE 3 number plate on the pit bike though! Stay tuned for more! And THANKS for visiting the MAVRIK Racing pages!
