NHRA PRO STOCK SERIES Charlotte and ran to what we were expecting, but still hadn't finished our R&D process and all of the new components we'd been work- ing on all winter long. We weren't totally happy and felt we needed more performance because we thought we'd have to be spot-on the tune-up to run with everybody. We went back to the shop and re- ally put forth the effort." Krawiec qualified in the top spot with a 6.79, one of the quick- est Pro Stock Motorcycle runs of the last two years. Following the lengthy rain delay, he scorched the field on race day with consis- tent runs that varied only slightly, from 6.794 to a 6.807 in his wins against White Alligator Suzuki's Jerry Savoie, Lucas Oil Buell's Adam Arana, Star Racing Buell's Michael Ray, and Hines. It was Krawiec's third career win at At- lanta Dragway. Hines, the winner of the Char- lotte event last month, contin- ued his recent hot streak when he rode past Gainesville winner Steve Johnson, Lucas Oil Buell's Hector Arana Sr., and MSR Buell's John Hall. After three of 16 rounds, Hines leads the NHRA Mello Yello points standings over Krawiec while John Hall, Scotty Pol- lacheck, and Hector Arana Jr. round out the top five. The Pro Stock Motorcycles will rejoin the NHRA tour at the up- coming Toyota Summernationals in Englishtown, New Jersey, May 29-June 1. CN Final 1. Eddie Krawiec (Harley- Davidson) 6.80 2.
