Eddie Krawiec and Andrew Hines, running the '09 V-Rod, paced a 21-bike field through two rounds of
qualifying for the FRAM Autolite Nationals at Infineon Raceway. Matt
Guidera, racing a Buell, was the most noted driver outside the top 12.
Krawiec's is hopeful his 6.973, 190.49 mph run will hold up through the
final two rounds of qualifying. Despite six consecutive final round
appears, Krawiec has yet to sit on the pole come race day.
“With the headwind, there is some elapsed time left on the table,”
Krawiec said. “I happened to make one of the best runs of the session
and the bike went straight as a string. I didn’t move around and from
that I knew that big e.t.’s usually come up on the board. I just think
it’s about making really good runs and that’s what we’ve been doing
lately.
