AHDRA TAKES THE TRACK FOR 2006 SEASON OPENER MARCH 4TH & 5TH AT GAINESVILLE RACEWAY
February 10, 2006 - The All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) is rapidly approaching the 2006 season kickoff at Gainesville Raceway.
The Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts Bike Week Nationals Presented by Gainesville Harley-Davidson on March 4th & 5th will host one of the largest fields of Harley drag racers in the United States, including over forty nitro-powered, fire-breathing machines that travel down the quarter mile at over 200 miles per hour.
A total of fifteen classes of competition are offered at the two-day event. This year's season-opener highlight will be the debut of the brand new Screamin' Eagle V-Rod Destroyer class. The "out-of-the-box-ready-to-race" machine was released earlier in the year by the Harley-Davidson Motor Company and with great performance numbers already on the books- it promises to be one of the most competitive classes yet.
AHDRA Championship Series sponsor Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts is back in the title-supporting role in Gainesville, with Gainesville Harley-Davidson returning as the presenting sponsor for the forth consecutive year.
Fans can celebrate the racing weekend early at the AHDRA Nitro Party on Friday, March 3rd, at Gainesville Harley-Davidson from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Catch an early preview of the race bikes and enjoy live entertainment, food, discount tickets, and more! The dealership is located at 4125 N.W. 97th Blvd..
On Saturday, racing gets under way at Gainesville Raceway with qualifying at 9:00 a.m. The sportsman eliminations begin on Sunday at 9:30 a.m., followed by the Pros at 12:30 p.m.
