What a day of Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying to open the 2023 NHRA season on Friday at the Gatornationals at Florida’s Gainesville Raceway! Steve Johnson came out on top—just barely—with two rock-solid 6.74s to look very race-ready on his Monster 4V Suzuki to take provisional #1. But his 6.746 at…

NHRA at Bristol: The Whole Story
Ladies love Thunder Valley.
