New Racing Bike And Class For Valerie Thompson
The New Season Is About To Begin
By JH with photos from VT Racing

After a very successful 2007 AHDRA season, VT Racing has decided to jump into the foray of NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Racing. Valerie, pilot of “The World’s Fastest Panhead”, is looking forward to another competitive year aboard a racebike, earning a living as one of the fastest human beings on earth.

During the design phases of this bike, VT Racing put out a bulletin on Bikernet.com to allow readers to decide what color scheme to choose on her bike. As you can see, the design works well with the lines of the machine, making the bike appear to be traveling at 200 mph even when parked.

Valerie has chronicled her racing history and future aspirations and goals on her website, vtracegirl.com. Check it out and be sure to wish her luck in the new season. Let her know Johnny from Bikernet sent ya! Valerie would like to especially thanks several of her sponsors.
