Matt Smith beat Chip Ellis to win the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship!

This de-thrones the HD after 3 years of trying.

Of the top 4 in points, 3 were Buells and 1 Harley: Matt Smith-champ, Matt Hines-runner up, Chip Ellis-3rd, Peggy Llewellyn 4th.

I just watched this. It looks like the only thing Buell about those bikes is the XBR fairing. At least Chip Ellis' bike says "Buell" on it.

One characteristic I love about the V-Twin dragsters is the way they "launch" on each gear as the motor pulls the bike through those long gears. The I4s look fairly linear as they run through the strip...
