NHRA BRISTOL, Tenn. Friday June 10 2011 NHRA announced today that the highly exciting and always entertaining Nitro Harleys will be featured as an exhibition class at the Ford NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals presented by Tri-Cities Area Ford Dealers.

Fans attending the June 17-19 event at Bristol Dragway will be treated to the high-powered, nitromethane-induced NHRA Harley-Davidson Racing Nitro Exhibition, in addition to their favorite classes in the Full Throttle Drag Racing Series, Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and Get Screened America Pro Mod Drag Racing Series. “Harley-Davison is thrilled to bring the thundering sound of nitro-burning Harleys to Thunder Valley,” said Kris Schooner, Harley-Davidson Racing Manager. “It’s a show drag racing fans won’t want to miss.” Fans will also have the opportunity to participate in the season-long, 60th anniversary of NHRA.
