The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I agree glad to see a Suzuki back on top . Probably be some rule book changes next year since the Suzuki's have gotten competitive again. For now Hooray! for the alligator man.
 
👍👍👍 three thumbs up for the WAR team shows what hard work and perseverance can do.
 
Not bad for a 30+ year old motor design with 2 valves and 53 less cubic inches than the Harleys"Buells". I strongly think they should update the rules to allow more modern designs like the ZX14 and 'Busa, and end the V&H stranglehold on the class and the rules..
 
NHRA.... No Harley Rules Anticipated.

Several years ago my nephew was an engineer at Hardly Developed and emailed to say Harley announced they had given a million dollars to Byron Hines to put HD into drag racing.

The word around the pits was it was more like 4 million. Hines developed.. an engine that the rule books said had to be made available to others. Paul Gast tried to buy one and Hines refused to sell him one. Ergo NHRA

Byron did lot to advance bike drag racing and has also ruined it to a degree.
 
A few years ago i remember reading the same thing about George Bryce and Star Racing.
Wanted to buy a V&H V-Rod but hey would not sell to him.

I am a proud Suzuki owner - and have been waiting for this day to return. good for us - and next year would be nice too - river not rising and good lord willing. ( or a new rule change)

Last week was an all-Suzuki final, Savoie and LE Tonglet. Time to add some weight to the Suzukis......

With the added Top Fuel Harley class, maybe the NHRA is giving the Pro Stock class back to the inline fours. Just a thought, I don't keep up on the NHRA much anymore.

Isn't Savoie on some kind of Suzuki twin?

No. The bodywork is advertised as a TL1000 but by rule the motor is a 2 valve GS motor with a factory case. This is the only reason new 1150 cases are available from Suzuki. They are limited to 1753CC, all have aftermarket internals and heads. The case is probably the only Suzuki part. Harleys can be 160CI or 2621 CC and through a quirk in the rules and a lack of Suzuki interest in getting a new case approved has not one Harley part. Both motors make 375-4?? HP. The rules limit technology, a Busa or ZX14 could kill anything out there with factory support and development. Sadly, Pro Stock car is nearly dead, and bike will soon follow unless they change the rules. It's just entertainment now, not something you or I could build towards someday. John Force has a $25 million annual budget, Schumacher is probably more.
