"Buells" Kick A$$! From H-DNet: POMONA, Calif. (November 5, 2007) - Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines Motorsports rider Andrew Hines came up short in his bid for a record-breaking fourth NHRA POWERade Pro Stock Motorcycle championship Sunday at the Auto Club NHRA Finals. Hines lost in the second round at the Auto Club Raceway, opening the door for Matt Smith to win the race and the 2007 Pro Stock Motorcycle championship. Hines beat Shawn Gann and the Rae Girl Suzuki team in the opening round before losing to Antron Brown and the U.S. Army team in the second round. Hines fouled at the starting line, giving the race to Brown. Hines went into the Pomona event as the category points leader and three-time defending champion. He was aiming to become the first rider in NHRA history to win four consecutive titles. "I'm extremely disappointed," Hines said. "This is very tough to swallow. I had the championship at my fingertips and I let it slip away. The whole day went through my head once I saw the win-light flashing in the other lane. I had seven seconds to think about the worst possible scenarios and those fears came true. "Matt Smith and the entire Torco Racing team provided some great competition this season and they absolutely deserved to be in the championship chase. I just wish it had gone our way, but they worked very hard to earn the title this season." Screamin' Eagle teammate Eddie Krawiec beat Matt Guidera and the Mohegan Sun Buell squad in the first round before losing to Chip Ellis and the Drag Specialties Buell team in the second round. ------------------------------------------- Interesting to note that H-DNet doesn't mention that champion Matt Smith's team is the Torco Racing Fuels Buell team...

I know that these "Buells" are as much a Buell as "stock cars" are stock, but it's still cool... | ||

actually stock cars have to use the rael hood and roof.... but yeah, its cool that matt smith won on a 'buell' also cool cause hes in king nc, about 15 minutes from winston salem, where im from. his dad is a pro drag racer in NHRA as well, ricky smith, ive seen him several times at the local 1/8 testing and its awesome! | ||

How about the front wheel or the windshield and front fairing? | ||
| Garrett2 |
no, not the front wheel, too heavy for them maybe windshield bodies are CF....not a stock buell part | ||

And with the advent of the "Car-of-Tomorrow", there are NO parts on a "Stock-Car" that are stock any more. | ||

the only buell part on a g2 prostock is the stickers there is nothing on those bike at even looks stock. | ||

Nothing at all from any stock bike, just like the H-Ds and Suzukis, but it's still cool that it's a Buell! | ||
| Garrett2 |
actually youre wrong imnoabuss the cases are stock GS cases on the suzukis | ||
| Hutch |

No, you are wrong, Garrett2, but believe what you want. | ||
| Garrett2 |
i might be, i was thinking it was cases, but there IS a stock suzuki GS part. believe what YOU want, but when i hear things from crew on Tommy Grimes bike (when he ran suzukis) I tend to believe they are correct. | ||
