In its never-ending quest to bring the entire world of drag racing to its readers, Torco's CompetitionPlus.com has added one of the more interesting correspondents to its line-up in the form of reigning FIA Top Fuel champion Urs Erbacher.

Already the quickest and fastest man on the continent and the subject of Discovery Channel Europe's Kings of Nitro television series, Erbacher is rapidly becoming as big a star in the United States as he is throughout Europe and his native Switzerland.

A custom motorcycle builder by trade -- on par with the likes of Jesse James at West Coast Choppers and the Teutul family at Orange County Choppers -- Erbacher spent the fall of 2007 and the spring of 2008 prepping to defend his FIA title with several warm-up tests on the NHRA tour. It's been an unprecedented time for U.S. fans to see how things are done on the other side of the pond.

The cool part is that Erbacher and his Swiss-based FatAttack.ch race team love to spend time with their American admirers. It's become common to see the multinational team holding impromptu pit parties at the end of the working day just to hang out with the fans.

As his four FIA championships prove, Erbacher and crew are serious about winning races. But they also like to have fun. For instance, when they couldn't find a comfortable place in Switzerland where all of their friends could gather to watch their motorsports exploits, Erbacher built the Fat Attack Inn and Restaurant, which has since become one of the most popular biker destinations in Europe.

Through Torco's CompetitionPlus.com, Erbacher will now share his life with an American audience through weekly installments that will include his team's drag racing endeavors, the current news from the FIA circuit, and Erbacher's time away from the race track. It's going to be a wild ride.
