POTW: Top Street Bike Champ Rick Mazzola
Tuesday, September 14, 2004 www.dragbikephotos.com
Congratulations to Dragbike.com contributor Rick Mazzola of New York who took the season championship in the Orient Express Top Street Bike series at Englishtown Raceway Park. Mazzola, riding a 2002 Kawasaki ZX-12R took one win and three semifinal appearances in the ten race series. His bike is fitted with and Akrapovic pipe and has the most basic of drag race modifications - lowering and gearing. We are sure he will give all the details in his next report. Congratulations again!

Vanson told me I could mail my jacket into them and for $20 they will replace my patches with the black Vanson ones. I figured I would do it over the winter when the jacket is not in use.

Thanks for posting the pic Bergie!!!
I feel like Rocky Balboa!!!...Yo Adrian, I did it!!!
Entropy, when I ordered the leathers, I opted for the leather embroidered patches in the battleship gray color to match the name on front & back...
beans, go online to the Vanson site and check out the DragRace 2 piece suit options, there is so much you can add to your jacket and do to it...Thats the great thing about Vanson, your jacket or suit becomes personalized!!!
Thanks guys!!!

While we are congratulating people. This guy here is friend of mine. Has very nice looking GS.
Streetbike Shootout
Baldwin, Kansas farmer Scott Hermreck won Streetbike Shootout at the Soul Brothers race in Kansas City on the 4th of July, and continued the holiday tradition by winning in Oklahoma on Labor Day weekend. Hermreck considers himself a hobbyist on his '84 GS1150, but in the final he treed and outran career streetbike throttle slinger David "Super Dave" Gebhardt, riding a '92 GSXR. Both old school Suzukis are nitrous huffers, a diet that's becoming rare in Shootout classes on the national circuits.
Gebhardt qualified #1 with an 8.346 run in the third round, while Hermreck didn't even show up 'til Sunday morning and made his one qualifying pass then. His 8.944 placed him only 6th in the 7 bike field, but Scott ripped off low ET and top speed of the weekend (and his life) in round 1 of eliminations with an 8.174 at 178.14mph. "The first pass I couldn't even go down the track," reported Hermreck. "The bike wouldn't shift and I don't know why. So the 8.17 was a big surprise." Meanwhile, Gebhardt ran steady 8.5's all day Sunday aboard Doc Hollywood's bike.
"Knowing the GS of Scott's had more MPH than me, I tried to tree him and 60 foot the bike," Gebhardt said about the final with Hermreck. "Also, we've been having trouble getting into fifth. The lights dropped and I spun through the 60 foot and held the nitrous to try and catch him." But that didn't work for Gebhardt and Hermreck made it 2 for 2 at Soul Brothers races in '04.
Scott thanked engine builder Mike Ruch of Ruch Racing Engines and DNL Suzuki of Topeka.
Scott Hermreck .056 8.282 @ 171.06 mph (w)
Dave Gebhardt .109 8.535 @ 171.03 mph
