Pro Stock Motorcycle

It has been a feature of NHRA drag racing since the 1980s when it was added to the professional class structure and has since spread around the globe.

One of the most successful Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers in NHRA history was six-time champion Dave Schultz, who died in 2001.

The first female driver in this category is Vicki Farr; the first officially licensed driver is Stephanie Reaves, as well as first to qualify at a NHRA National Event, and the best known female face in this category is Angelle Sampey (Seeling), who set a national record 7.38 second elapsed time in 1996, during her rookie year.

Suzuki and Buell team owner George Bryce was an outspoken critic of the V-Rod's set of rules.
