HOLD ON After qualifying second amongst a strong field of Top Fuel Harleys at the NHRA Spring Nationals, Jay Turner leaned on a string of increasingly quick-and-fast quarter-mile blasts ranging from 6.374 at 215.44mph to 6.219 at 222.47mph to score the win over Bob Malloy. Not surprisingly, the addition of Top Fuel Harley to the NHRA’s national event experience at eight stops on the Mello Yello Drag Racing Series tour has been massively well received by fans and fellow racers.
