The NHRA may exert the effort but their dream of parity in Pro Stock Motorcycle unlikely says competitors
The NHRA has tried everything short of Can-Am starts to achieve parity
in their Pro Stock Motorcycle division but a handful of competitors
feel the attempts are an exercise in futility. In other words, one
would be more likely to achieve peace in the Middle East than put the
bikes on an even keel.
Nevermind the fact the NHRA has lightened the load on the Suzuki
combination (610 pounds with rider) for the 2008 season, the
combination was still .07 behind the Harley-Davidson V-rod. For that
matter, the Buell V-twin combination was .06 behind the Harley-Davidson
combination during the recent Eastern Spring Test Nationals in
Valdosta, Georgia.
“To be honest for sure the quicker thing would be peace in the Middle
East than reach parity in the class,” Steve Johnson, President of PRO2,
the group representing Pro Stock Motorcycle said.
