Krawiec Races V-Rod To Finals In Atlanta And Pads Points Lead

Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines rider Ed Krawiec raced a Harley-Davidson V-Rod motorcycle to his third consecutive final-round appearance of the season at the Summit Racing Equipment NHRA Southern Nationals at Atlanta Dragway. Krawiec added to his advantage in the Pro Stock Motorcycle season tally and now leads the series by 74 points. Krawiec has appeared in the final round in each NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle event this season, with one win to date. In Atlanta, the three-time champion used a steady and consistent approach at the starting line to advance through three rounds of Sunday eliminations as each opponent fouled at the start. “I lined up and did my job as a rider and advanced,” said Krawiec, who lost in the final to Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana, “and we gained points on the entire field.” With late afternoon temperatures close to 90 degrees and humidity very high, the Screamin’ Eagle team was tuning for summer weather for the first time this season. “It was a challenging weekend for the Screamin’ Eagle team,” said Krawiec. “With the heat and our new race fuel, we had a hard time finding a tune-up for both motorcycles until my bike came alive in the semi-finals.” Harley-Davidson® Screamin’ Eagle®/Vance & Hines rider Andrew Hines qualified the team’s other V-Rod for Sunday eliminations and lost in the first round. After three of 16 events on the 2015 NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle schedule, Krawiec leads the series with 286 points. Hines is second with 212 points, followed by Hector Arana with 201 points. Suzuki Extended Protection rider Karen Stoffer and Lucas Oil Buell rider Hector Arana Jr. are tied for fourth place with 195 points. The Harley-Davidson Screamin’ Eagle/Vance & Hines drag team will be back in action June 5-7 at the 46th annual

Buffalo Chip To Host A Crazy Three-Ring Circus

Daring acrobats, death-defying stuntmen, fire-breathing women, larger-than-life theatrical performances and side-show oddities are all part of the spectacle guests expect from a good, old fashioned, three-ring circus. When one views incredible events like these through the mind of the motorcyclist, what develops is the super-charged circus on steroids Sturgis Rally attendees will find this August at the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. In ring number one the Air Sex Championships will merge real life with imaginary sex twice daily on the Buffalo Chip’s showcase stages. Comedian and host Chris Trew will invite guests to take part in his politely offensive and utterly hilarious interactive stage show on the Jägermeister and Bikini Beach stages. And, the International UniMotorCyclist Society will battle it out at the PowerSports Complex on Saturday, Aug. 8 in a series of drag races like no other, all on one wheel with no brakes or steering. Those badass bikers on one wheel will also host some of the zaniest events at the rally including sticky whipped cream wrestling, slippery lesbian oil wrestling, funky burlesque Mardi Gras contest and more all open to any adult wanting to win big cash prizes.   In ring number two is the Seattle Cossacks. For more than 75 years this group of motorcycle acrobats has been building human pyramids high atop moving, vintage, Harley-Davidsons. Audiences will witness authentic daredevils performing tricks on motorcycles older than the Sturgis Rally. They will bring their rolling show to the CrossRoads at the Buffalo Chip with three shows daily Tuesday through Thursday, including their death-defying “Wall of Fire” show at 7 p.m. In the third ring is a death-defying jump in the Buffalo Chip’s amphitheater that will end with an unlikely victory or an unspeakable tragedy. On Thursday, Aug, 6, 2015 Doug Danger will attempt the motorcycle stunt the
