In October 1999, I went to the HOT ROD BIKES drag racing seminar at the AHDRA race at Rockingham. After that experience I knew I wanted to drag race! In March 2000, the MAVRIK Racing team was formed. At that time, I was just playing around with the idea of running a drag bike. The problem was that I didn't have a drag bike and had no idea what I really wanted except that I knew I wanted to go fast! So I did the next best thing, I modified what I had. That was my 1996 Softail Custom. My first race was April 2000 with the AHDRA at Reynolds, GA in the ET Class. I lost in the first round because I broke out. I learned that lesson well. My next race was with AHDRA at Bristol, TN. I went six rounds and took the ET Class win! Now I was hooked! After that race, I started to formulate plans to build a real drag bike. I studied every performance article I could find. I already knew a fair amount about the big twin, but a Sportster was more in my price range. From what I read, the Sportster was the best choice to take the abuse I planned to dish out. After months of searching, I located a partial wreck on e-Bay and successfully bid on it. Over the winter of 2000, I tore apart the 1997 Sportster, bought some performance goodies and assembled the NEW MAVRIK! Over the winter of 2002, I removed the engine from the stock Sportster chassis and installed it in a Schultz race chassis Check out the pictures on my PHOTOS page. I have to take a moment here to apologize for not updating my web site for some time. Life has been VERY busy with work, racing, and now also having 3 Whippets (all of them race as well)! I promise you I will try to take some time over the coming months and do some updating on my site. Thank you for continuing to visit the MAVRIK Racing web site. Changes are coming, please stay tuned. We've been VERY busy over the past several months. And THANKS for visiting the MAVRIK Racing pages! κκ ps - See my quickest 74" time slip here!!! κκ
