Matt Smith

Matt Smith blew away the rest of the Pro Stock Motorcycle field in the first qualifying session at the Virginia NHRA Nationals. His 6.851-second hit was two-hundredths of a second quicker than the field and he also ran top speed at 197.91 mph. 

Angelle Sampey is starting to get the hang of her Vance & Hines Harley Davidson Street Rod. She made the second-best run of the session (6.873) and earned a pair of bonus points as a result. Hector Arana Jr. followed her with a 6.878 to round out the top three. 

Joey Gladstone is holding down the quick half of the field with a 6.967 and Angie Smith is on the bump spot of the 16-bike field as she failed to get down the track under power. The bikes will be back for one more session – you can see the full qualifying order here.
