Racing: Arizona Woman Gets First Win In Prep For AHDRA At Firebird
After winning her first trophy at the NOPI Nationals this weekend
at Firebird International Raceway, Valerie Thompson (Scottsdale,
AZ) is ready to go against ALL Harley's in April. Thompson
was named the Street ET Bike Champion with a 9.59 second
pass at 138.33 mph.
The All Harley Drag Racing Association members and fans will
see racers on only Harleys, but of either gender during the Nationals
event at Firebird April 8th and 9th.
Valerie Thompson is a motorcycle drag racer. Not just any
motorcycle; a Harley Screamin' Eagle V-Rod Destroyer, powered
by a 1300cc engine, bragging 165 horsepower. Hacienda Harley
in Scottsdale supplied the hog as part of her sponsor agreement
for the '06 season. "The opportunity to run my bike
in Arizona, at Firebird Raceway, makes the April event more important
to me than any other stop on the schedule" Thompson stated
about racing in her home state.
This lady hot rod was a collections agent in her "former
life" and now has the bug for drags and for Harley. "Nothing
compares to the roar of the engine, the rush off the line and
the realization of the finish line" said Thompson.
She left behind collections to compete in the AHDRA series with
more than $1 million in prize money for Harley racers to collect.
More information about Thompson at her website www.vtracegirl.com.
Racers with a valid AHDRA Competition License capable of safely
operating a motorcycle can compete in 16 different classes.
All motorcycles must meet the requirements outlined in the AHDRA
Rulebook. For tickets and information go to www.firebirdraceway.com or www.ADHRA.com.
