WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., June 22, 2004 As AHDRA approaches the mid-season mark of the 2004 Screamin' Eagle Performance Parts Championship Series at this weekend's Kresto Pacific Nationals presented by Eastside Harley-Davidson, the competition will be fierce as the points battle reaches its crucial peak.

Top guns of the sport from the U.S. and Canada will battle it out on the quarter mile at Pacific Raceways for over $50,000 in cash. Competitors are expected to attend from as far away as Florida and New Jersey.

Eastside Harley-Davidson (located at 13131 N.E. 20th Street, Bellevue, WA) will lead off the excitement on Thursday, June 24th, at the official AHDRA Kick Start Party, from 4:00-7:00 p.m. Fans can stop by for food, fun, and a chance to meet the racers of AHDRA, including 2002 Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley Champion Ron Houniet and Washington native Steve Heidner.

On Sunday, June 27, motorcycle riders from all over the Northwest will participate in Children's Ride 9. Custom bike builder Paul Yaffe will lead the escorted ride from Seattle's Seahawks Stadium to Pacific Raceways. Proceeds from Children's Ride 9 benefit uncompensated care and diabetes research at Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center. The previous eight rides have raised over $800,000 for Children's Hospital. For more information or to register for Children's Ride 9, log on to www.childrens-ride.com or call 206-987-2777.
