From Feld Motor Sports
NORWALK, OH – Crazy, psychotic, suicidal – all are words that have been used to describe the insane riders of the nitro powered motorcycle class known as Nitro Harley.
But while those terms all seem to fit perfectly anyone who knowingly chooses to hop on a two-wheeled bomb and travel speeds in excess of 200 miles per hour, to the racers themselves, there is only one word that can be used to describe their chosen profession – exhilarating.
And that is exactly what keeps fans coming back for more when these extreme daredevils take to the track, a sight that is soon to become a commonplace at Nitro Jam events all across North America as the hottest motorsports show in the country reunites with the most exciting class in all of drag racing for the 2011 Nitro Jam season.
“What can I say, I thrive on being able to do something that most people could never do,” said Jay Turner (pictured), a six-time champion in various nitro bike leagues across the country. “I love the adrenaline and I love being able to entertain the fans. When you are at about the 1,000 foot mark and the front tire is two feet off the ground at nearly 200 miles per hour and everyone is cheering, that is what it is all about.”
Turner is one of over half a dozen riders that will be a part of the 2011 Nitro Jam tour competing at all nine Nitro Jam events currently on the schedule. Riders from all corners of the country will make up the new class, which returns to the Nitro Jam schedule fulltime for the first time since 2002.
“We are thrilled to be back racing with IHRA this season. We are both all about the same thing – making it exciting for the fans and putting on a great show,” Turner said. “And from an entertainment perspective, there is nothing quite as exciting as a Nitro Harley.”
Turner and the rest of the Nitro Harley crew including Steve Dorn, Mike Scott and Randal Andras will be on hand to kick off the Nitro Jam season Jan. 28-29 at Palm Beach International Raceway.
