Sep NHRA Motorcycle Drag Racing at Charlotte

The National Hot Rod Association NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class has come to the Charlotte, NC area for the first time at the new $60 million zMax Dragway in Concord.

MotorcycleInfo.Org was in attendance to take in all the thrilling motorcycle racing sights, sounds, and smells of high-octane race engine exhaust combined with the haze of tire smoke near the staging area and starting line.


There have been women racing this male-dominated motorcycle racing class with great success, such as Angelle Sampey shown in black and green here, but today several more women are racing motorcycles and they are doing very well.  Shown below is Valerie Thompson, who has set two motorcycle speed records at Bonneville previously to entering into NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle racing.
