A All Animal Control Racing takes 1st Place in Points Finals for KVMP!

October 7th 2010 - Dunbar, WV

A All Animal Control Racing has brought home the Bike Championship at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park for the 2010 season.

"Thanks to the sponsors for helping us bring home the win" said Mark E. Dotson, the rider of their 2008 Suzuki Hayabusa. Without the great folks at Balance Clothing, Casto Cycle Sales and Motul, we could not have achieved the results we did.

" I would also like to extend a special thanks to my wife Alisa for being there and helping me crew the bike".

"It was a big challenge this year with the shutdown of our AMA Dragbike series, but we refocused our efforts locally and came out on top" Dotson said.

"We are making plans for our 2011 season and will post that as soon as we know the direction we are taking", explained Dotson.

AAAC Racing Update

AAAC Racing spent last weekend under lovely skies racing at Pittsburgh Raceway Park during the Region 3 IHRA Bracket Finals. We are the first motorcycle to represent Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park at the Bracket Finals.

We were only able to run 1 qualifying pass each day and Friday’s pass was a 6.18 on the 1/8th mile. The light was not too bad but our 60’ was a bit off.
Saturday brought some more beautiful weather and cool conditions. This pass was a great light and we clocked a 6.04 through the traps. We dialed a 6.00 flat on the bike as the conditions were getting even better. Saturday afternoon rolled around after much waiting and our time came to run.

We were paired with a snowmobile for the first round. The snowmobile dialed a slower time so he left first. I cut a good light but as I was getting my feet up on the pegs, my hand rolled off the throttle slightly and that cost us the race. The bike ran a 6.15. That is how it goes in drag racing! Everything has to be working perfectly for it to all come together. Next year we will go at it again with a more aggressive approach and take home a trophy.

Thanks to our great sponsors, Casto Motorcycle Sales, Balance Clothing, Motul and A All Animal Control for making a tough season better than it was going to be.

A All Animal Control Racing Wins Again

A All Animal Control Racing Team Hayabusa added another win to the list. AAAC Racing Team got the bye run on the first pass and ran a 6.14 with a 3 on a 6.14 dial to take the win. Currently at #1 points standings for the Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park. Only needing one more points race to be eligible for the bracket finals in Pittsburg in September.

KVMP had a great turnout and hope the bikes and cars keep the momentum going.

A All Animal Control Team Hayabusa came in 3rd place at the Third Annual Show and Go Jam at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park last Saturday.

The track was going away with street cars dragging dirt and grass on the track. The loss is a result of spinning that killed the 60. A All Animal Control Team Hayabusa lost by .0311 of a second.

Another Win for Team A All Animal Control!

After coming off a win at Kanawha Valley Motor sports Park this weekend, the A All Animal Control Suzuki Hayabusa is going in for a minor makeover. She has taken her share of abuse and acquired a few dings and scratches along the way and was in need of a nice touch up.


Our friends at Balance Clothing Company are sponsoring our make over and do incredible work to keep us looking sharp both on and off the track. Dave Collins and the boys would like to wrap your bike. If you are in the WV area, stop in and let them take a look at it.


We will be off the track with the Busa for a short while but will continue to run the Katana GSX750F in the mean time to stay in the points chase locally!

Indy Bound July 31st - August 1st 2010

Indianapolis is the next stop on our AMA Dragbike circuit. This being the “hometown” for our CEO, Mark E. Dotson, makes it a special occasion and a great time to reconnect with family and friends at the track.


The local test and tuning has resulted in getting the bugs worked out of the machine. We did have a mishap with our nitrous system and lost a nitrous solenoid. This caused the engine to go off the charts revving up, but thankfully we shut it down quickly and did not smoke the motor.


The nitrous system has be repaired and the mapping seems to be working well. A couple shift point tweaks and suspension set ups and we should be there.
Join us July 31st – August 1st as we try to get the bike in the 8’s!

CEO of A All Animal Control, Mark Dotson, named Person of the Week

Born February 10, 1966 in Danville, Indiana, Mark Dotson’s passion for motorcycles started with a desire to customize his bicycles. Though Mark never owned a motorcycle as a child, he lived the motorcyclist life vicariously through a neighbor who taunted him as he road his dirt bike day after day. That neighbor planted the seed for Mark’s road to racing.

Mark was nineteen years old before he got his first motorcycle, a 1980 Yamaha 400 Special. He rode the bike everywhere and a year later stepped up to an ’81 CX-500 Honda. While riding with a friend in Southern Indiana, Mark traveled through a town named Bean Blossom. He looks at that trip as fate, putting him in the right place at the right time. Their accidental ride through Bean Blossom found them right in the middle of a bike rally called the Bean Blossom Boogie. The rally included an all-Harley drag race at a local outlaw track that Mark swears wasn’t even an 1/8th mile long. Mark and his buddy purchased tickets and went in to check it out. It didn’t take Mark long to talk the promoter into letting them race their Honda’s against the Harley’s. The hand wave start grudge races proved easy so Mark and friend started beating up on the Harley’s. The event sparked Mark’s interest in drag racing, one that took many more years to ignite.

Mark finally started drag racing at his local track in 2008 on a ten year old Suzuki Katana 750F. After a few months of getting beat up by bigger bikes, he upgraded to a new Hayabusa to level the playing field at Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park. The next year Mark felt he was ready to jump straight from the frying pan into the fire by joining and racing at AMA Dragbike national events and starting his own team called AAAC Racing Team. That led to attending a Rickey Gadson’s drag racing school , which was a huge help in learning to launch, decrease 60’ times and get down the track quicker.

A All Animal Control Racing in Atlanta Doesn't Pan Out

(April 12, 2010)-- The need for speed didn't pan out for the A All Animal Control Dragbike Racing Team this past weekend in Atlanta, Ga. Evidentially, a faulty oil pan was the culprit for the team's setbacks.

" Friday test and tuning turned up a serious problem. When we were slowing down on the big end, the oil light would come on and the motor would shut down immediately. Which is a good thing that you want to happen to keep from blowing the motor up!", states AAAC CEO Mark E. Dotson. He continued, "We pulled the oil pan and found the swinging pickup arm was sticking. After a careful cleaning, it seemed to have freed up and we put it back on the bike. Alisa was manning the generator and lighting systems while handing needed tools."

Dotson elaborated, " We worked till about 11pm on the bike and took it for a short ride with no more light coming on. Saturday we made our first qualifying pass in Street E.T. and no oil light. We were breathing a sigh of relief and made our second pass. The oil light problem returned again! At that point we parked the bike and trailered it home on Sunday. Time to tear the bike down and find out what is causing this issue."

Mechanic work has continued all this week, including the replacement of the faulty oil pan, tune ups and trial runs. The AAAC Racing Team hopes to have everything in working order for the Spring Nationals in Martin, MI May 15 and 16.

Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park

As you may know, Kanawha Valley Motorsports Park is our local track for test and tune and ET bracket racing.

We took the bike out Friday night and made some test passes with the new MSD ignition system installed and it needs some tweaking! The timing is way off and the maps need to be adjusted to get it back to where it needs to be.

We will be off to atlanta soon for the Elmer Trett Nationals! See ya there!

Racing Highlights From Valdosta

We really stepped up our game at the South Georgia Motor Sports Park Bike Week Nationals March 6th, 7th and 8th. The bike had some issues with the air shifter on day one, however that problem was taken care of quickly.

Day two brought some great air and finishing time of 9.19 seconds at 157MPH. The bike ran great, shifting well. The Nitrous Progressive Controller was switching maps just like it should with everything clicking. As the air became warmer, time began to fall respectively.

Finals on day three included rounds in Street E.T. and a break out in Street Fighter. Real Street was a tough class with A All Animal Control near the tail end of the pack. Day three was the best pass to date with a time of 9.09 seconds at 158 MPH.

A All Animal Control is knocking on the doors of the 8's and hopefully will be there soon. Special thanks to our sponsors: Motul, Strategic Solutions and the A All Animal Control Family for their support in making this years racing a success!

Dyno Testing At Schnitz Racing

We brought the bike to Schnitz Racing in Decatur, Indiana to let Ryan Schnitz provide a fine tune up for it. Ryan tweaked the bike to 174hp on motor and 216 on nitrous. Ryan knows how to tune a bike and now we should be able to get the bike in the high to mid 8's.
