Gainesville Pro Stock Motorcycle Friday results: Q1
The first Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying session of the new year didn't look much different from the final session of 2018.
Reigning NHRA Mello Yello champion Matt Smith maintained the torrid pace he set at the end of last season and claimed the early lead in Pro Stock Motorcycle qualifying.
Smith rode his bright red Denso EBR to a 6.753 to lead a strong field of 23 riders. Smith, the current speed record holder, also cracked the 200-mph mark with a 200.95 best. Behind Smith was championship runner-up Eddie Krawiec who rode his Harley-Davidson to a 6.792 and Krawiec’s teammate, Andrew Hines, who ran 6.812. In her first run as a member of the Vance & Hines team, Angelle Sampey clocked a respectable 6.854.
