BOARDMAN, OH | BRL Newswire
Off the heels of its record-attended kickoff race at the Pittsburgh International Raceway in May, Drag Specialties Battle of the Baggers made its much-anticipated debut at Blackhawk Farms, on July 15th and 16th and it didn’t disappoint. In addition to a memorable moment of silence and tribute lap to the late motorcycle industry icon Fred Fox, rounds three and four provided as many spills as thrills as part of an intense, bagger racing weekend.
Although the shorter, narrower course provided its own unique style of “fairing-to-fairing” racing, two of Bagger Racing League’s top race teams, Trask Performance and Lloydz Garage entered a classic Harley versus Indian dogfight that would have fans on the edge of their seats and glued to their televisions all weekend long.
“After two first-place finishes in both the Bagger GP and Pro Stock classes in Pittsburgh, we knew the crosshairs would be on us for Blackhawk,” said team owner and president Nick Trask of Trask Performance. “The crowds came out in force; the atmosphere was electric, and we were glad to have extended our series lead heading into the last two races.”
Trask Performance wasn’t the only team to grab multiple, first-place finishes in Blackhawk. Indian performance gurus Tim Sutherland, Lloyd Greer, and their team took top position in both the Big Twins and American Twins Unlimited classes, further fueling the intense, 100-plus year rivalry between the two iconic, American motorcycle manufacturers.
“The race classes and regulations of the Bagger Racing League allow for a good mix of motorcycles and parity in each race, said Tim Sutherland – Owner and President of Lloydz Garage. “On the Indian side, our bikes have bigger displacement and a bit more into the suspension and other components.” “And on the Harley side, Trask has smaller displacement but has Nick’s legendary turbo charge systems which make them scary fast.” “We’re all having a great time at these BRL races.”
Bagger Racing League will now shift gears and hold the last 5th and 6th rounds of Drag Specialties Battle of the Baggers at the famed Willow Springs International Raceway in Rosamond, CA November 18th, and 19th to complete the 2023 season.
