SONOMA, Calif. – Antron Brown became only the third rider in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle history to break the seven-second barrier when he rode his U.S. Army Suzuki to a 6.983-second run at 191.51 mph during the first round of professional qualifying at the 19th annual FRAM-Autolite NHRA Nationals.
Pro Stock Motorcycle competitors in the 2006 NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series compete for bonus money in the NHRA Mickey Thompson 6-Second Pro Stock Bike Club.
Andrew Hines made history on March 18, 2005, when he became the inaugural member of the club. He powered his Screamin’ Eagle Vance & Hines Harley-Davidson to a milestone run of 6.991 seconds during the Mac Tools NHRA Gatornationals, Gainesville, Fla., which netted the Indianapolis-based rider the $10,000 bonus from Mickey Thompson Tires. Chip Ellis joined the club in Chicago this spring on his Drag Specialties S&S Buell.
The lucrative bonus program is available to all NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle competitors at each NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series event until the eight-member club is filled. Five additional positions remain open.
Brown receives $2,000 as the third member of the club. The fourth rider will earn $1,000. Four checks worth $500 each will be distributed to riders five through eight in the club.
Each member of the NHRA Mickey Thompson 6-Second Pro Stock Bike Club will receive a special recognition plaque to honor their achievement.
