Pingel Thunder Nationals Results



AMA Dragbike put on another good show at the Pingel Thunder Nationals in Indy on August 1st and 2nd. The track was expertly prepared and everybody made good passes.


In fact, we made our best pass yet! The bike ran a 9.495 on a 1.555 sixty footer and hit the traps at 145mph. At that speed we broke out of Street Fighter and they placed us further down the ladder. It was not fast enough in RealStreet to get us a better qualifying spot and we were at the bottom of the rung on that ladder.


We move up two spots in the points and are now 19 out of 43...so we are in the top 20! Not too bad for our rookie year! With 3 more races to go, we may make it to the top 15! RealStreet is an extremely competitive class and with our speeds improving each time, we are making progress.


With all the mechanical issues we were plagued with, we overcame each one and made every pass we could.

This is pretty cool. My husband loves to ride! I don't really understand why an animal control business has a racing program, but still fun!
