Andrew Hines is excited about riding his Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class. He’s also excited about attempting a Pro Stock car license on May 24, on his 27th birthday.
As great as those opportunities are, they pale in comparison to what he’s got on the horizon in July.
July 27th is the due date for his and wife Tanya’s second child already determined to be a boy.
Andrew Hines is excited about riding his Screamin’ Eagle Harley-Davidson in NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class. He’s also excited about attempting a Pro Stock car license on May 24, on his 27th birthday.
As great as those opportunities are, they pale in comparison to what he’s got on the horizon in July.
July 27th is the due date for his and wife Tanya’s second child already determined to be a boy.
“We haven’t picked out a name but we have a few in mind,” Hines said. “It’s one of those deals when once we see him, we’ll figure out what the best name is.”
This will be the second child born into the team’s pit area since teammate Eddie Krawiec and wife Annemarie celebrated the birth of a baby girl Miss Kayden Marie.
Already the Pro Stock Bike pits are buzzing with rumors of an “arranged” marriage.
“They will be about three months apart in age and there are some out there already teasing us that they are going to get married,” said Hines with a smile. “If that happens, Eddie is saying I have to pay for half of the wedding, but I believe the custom is for the bride’s family to pay. You never know, we live a couple of doors down from one another.”
Hines, knee-deep in the demands of the Pro Stock Bike world, has been putting in some late nights thrashing. However, his midnight oil has been spent on converting their three bedroom home in Brownsburg to four. While most of the construction has been handled by his wife’s co-workers, Hines has been hard at work ensuring the room is just the right colors.
He’s handling the paint detail and doing it right and with his perfectionist nature kicked in high gear. Their unnamed son will inherit a room boldly emblazoned with University of Florida livery.
With Hines as an honorary Gator and Mom an alumni, his path is determined.
What is not yet determined is when the new son will arrive. As it stands, the due date is scheduled to hit right in the middle of the western swing where the bikes have two stops.
“We have already booked some redeye flights and looking into the possibility of having her induced on the day after Sonoma,” Hines said. “I’ll get back at 5:20 in the morning and will likely drive straight to the hospital. Hopefully the baby will be out by Thursday night and be able to go racing in Denver.”
But, if the schedule is altered?
“If I have to miss some qualifiers, I will do that,” he said.
