Er’body (except sometimes the NHRA, who didn’t schedule bikes for this stop last year) knows that Gateway is a bike track, and Pro Stock Motorcycle returns to action in St. Louis at this weekend’s NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway. Joey Gladstone and the Cory Reed Racing team…
Eatmyink’s NHRA U.S. Nationals coverage: Pro Stock Motorcycle
I’m not sure what there is to say about Matt Smith that hasn’t already been said. Matt could rewrite the NHRA record books if he races as long as his dad Rickie, and his achievements come as an owner/rider/builder/tuner against at least one huge operation with a daunting budget and…
Eatmyink’s NHRA U.S. Nationals coverage: Pro Stock Car
Greg Anderson picked up his 100th career win at the 68th annual Dodge Power Brokers NHRA U.S. Nationals, capping off a memorable day for the longtime standout at Lucas Oil Indianapolis Raceway Park.

Gladstone’s First NHRA Win in Third Straight Final
After back-to-back final round appearances, Joey Gladstone broke through for his first career Pro Stock Motorcycle victory in at the Denso NHRA Sonoma Nationals, knocking off Eddie Krawiec in the final round with a pass of 6.759 at 200.6. Krawiec went a quicker by a thin thou, but Gladstone was…
Savoie Qualifies at Sonoma with Plain Bearing 2-Valve Suzuki
While NHRA’s strange decision to add weight to V-Twin Pro Stock Motorcycles after Denver seems to have decidedly hamstrung that configuration, the Sonoma Suzuki field is rich with mechanical diversity. Angelle Sampey leads the field by a mile on a Vance & Hines 4-valve head Suzuki with a 6.700 at…
WAR Developing Plain Bearing Suzuki PSM Crank
White Alligator Racing is developing—with technical help from Lon Moyer and Brad Moore at Competition Engine Services—a one-piece, plain bearing crankshaft for Suzuki NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycles. The part is intended to replace roller bearing cranks based on the stock Suzuki GS part, and a known reliability problem for Suzukis…
WAR Wins Bristol with 2-Valve Suzuki
A string of fantastic reaction times, smooth riding on his White Alligator Racing Pro Stock Motorcycle Suzuki, a first-rate crew, and a last gasp switch to a 2-valve Suzuki back-up motor swept Jerry Savoie to his first win of 2022. That’s right, Jerry Savoie and WAR won Sunday’s NHRA Thunder…
Inside Chase Van Sant’s PSM Test Session
Readers who can put 2 and 2 together probably figured out that the White Alligator Racing’s Trick-Tools sponsorship announced exclusively here on Eatmyink during the Gatornationals included some sort of opportunity for 4.60 rider Chase Van Sant, whose dad Bruce owns Trick-Tools. At least one of those opportunities was realized last…
NHRA Drops 10 Pounds Off 2V Suzukis
The NHRA is changing Pro Stock Motorcycle weight rules yet again, this time dropping 10 pounds off of 2 valve Suzukis. White Alligator Racing (WAR) tuner/manager Tim Kulungian thinks this will have a real effect on performance parity. And while he’s not sure at this writing that his team might…
Godspeed Sandy Kosman
When it came to conversation, Sandy Kosman (with Joe Marasco at Atco in the photo above) qualified as “The Most Interesting Man in the World.” It wasn’t just his gray beard that brought to mind the Dos Equis advertising icon. When I lived in Brooklyn, running a SoHo art gallery…
