SMS SPECIAL GUEST

Local Drag Racing Star:  Jim Doyle

 

This year we have a very special guest for all our drag racing fans.  Local drag racing champ Jim Doyle.  Jim has been on the drag racing scene for over 30 years.  Professional Drag Racing is in his blood and Jim know everything it takes to win.  With 7 National Championships and 19 National Records, you know this guy is at the top of his game. 

If you have never been to a motorcycle drag race, you need to check out this amazing sport filled with plenty of thrills and excitement.  Teams work for long hours on the bikes, but when it is race time, everything happens in mere seconds.  Motorcycle drivers race down a drag strip focused on two goals.  Get the quickest time and gain the highest speed on typically a quarter mile track.

Jim’s accomplishments have been well reccognized.  Here are his comments about breaking the AMRA Nitro Funny Bike Record which can be seen on Dragbike.com. 

“After finishing runner up in the 2014 AMRA Nitro Funny Bike points, I was really looking to start off this season better than last year.” said Jim Doyle “My goal entering this weekends 4th Annual Cajun Blowout Nationals was to take the Nitro Funny Bike MPH record, Qualify #1, and of course to win the race, which would have given our team the points lead.  Right off the trailer I ran a 6.89 at 211.36, to break the class record next round a 6.851 at 213.92.  After that run we returned to the pits and made a gear change.

Our next round was even more exciting, We ran a 6.761 which made up #1 Qualifier.  The first round of eliminations, We won with a cylinder out.  Second round we won again with a 6.797 at 216.29 to now break my own record, but was unable to back it up as we smoked the tire in the finials.  We are ready for a good showing in Bowling Green next month!”

About the Nitro Funny Bike

In its class, bikes are limited to a 151 cubic inch motor and a 13" rear tire, with a single speed transmission. This bike will be competing in the American Motorcycle Racing Association’s Nitro Funny Bike class for records and a national championship. The nitro funny bike will also be capable of racing in the NHRA’s Top Fuel Harley class.

This incredible machine was built thanks to the generous support of Jim’s many sponsors. To compete in this highly competitive sport, every motorcycle team needs to have a great group of sponsors backing their efforts.  The Jim Doyle Racing Team is not exception.  With a solid group of sponsors behind him and a dedicated crew, Jim works hard to clock out faster times and speeds than ever before.

Come down to the show and meet Jim Doyle, then be sure to head out to the track during the year and see him fly down the drag strip!  You’ll be glad you did.  Who knows you may even witness a new record.
