SCREAMIN' EAGLE NITRO HARLEYS JOIN NHRA EXHIBITION TOUR Taking yet another class from the IHRA playbook, NHRA has announced the creation of the NHRA Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley-Davidson exhibition tour to be held at three national events in conjunction with the NHRA POWERade Drag Racing Series tour. The three events will be the Mac Tools Thunder Valley NHRA Nationals, Bristol, Tenn. Dragway (April 25-27), the NHRA Route 66 Nationals, Route 66 Raceway, Joliet, Ill. (Sept. 25-28), and the O'Reilly Fall Nationals at Texas Motorplex, Ennis, Texas (Oct. 9-12).
The invitation-only exhibition tour will feature a maximum of 14 Nitro Harley-Davidson teams who will compete to qualify for an eight-bike elimination field. Qualifying will take place on Friday and Saturday during each national event, with eliminations held on Sunday. Each exhibition winner will be awarded a special trophy and participate in a NHRA Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley winner's circle ceremony at the conclusion of each event.
"As we continue our focus on the racer, adding NHRA to the mix of the
Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley team's venues fulfills our quest to deliver
a schedule that gets this exciting class in front of NHRA fans," said
Mike Kennedy, director of marketing for Harley-Davidson's parts and
accessories. "There is no better place to showcase the raw power and
speed of these Harley racers than at an NHRA national event." (Jeff
