Default Mason Dixon Dragway, MD. Motorcyclist killed

I heard a brief story on the radio this morning about a motorcycle racer killed at Mason Dixon Dragway on Sunday, November 14. I checked the local news online and found nothing. Anyone have the details?

On the news this morning, I heard a motorcylcist was killed when a pickup that was being chased by police ran into him in Buckeysville, MD. Don't know more details, or if this is the same incident.

This is sad news...I live in Hagerstown, and checked the local paper.

LINK

Last year I took my motorcycle (Honda Valkyrie) to run at the Mason Dixon dragway, and met a guy running a Buel. I hope it wasn't him.

Strange to loose control at such a high speed? You'd think it'd be pretty stable at that point.

I sold my bike this past summer and got the Z...

Thanks for the link. Very tragic.


BTW do you recognize this 350Z from Hagerstown?

Looks familiar, I think Ive seen him on the boards. Has N20 and runs high 12's @ 105 iirc, nothing to brag about if its him imo, that wing must be slowing his trap speeds down

Correct me if I'm wrong david, but I believe Greg (Red Z above) ran that high 12 on his only run when he blew up his Kinetix V2 plenum?

That might have had something to do with only a 12.96 @ 105 on Nitrous with boltons...

And FYI, the spoiler has been replaced with a Nismo, thank god.

I’m not sure about the numbers. I just thought that gunser might know SuperX since both live in Hagerstown.

I'm pretty sure I pulled up to this Z in town one day and exchanged compliments at a stoplight...his was the most modded Z I've seen around this area.

Last I heard from him he was selling his Nitrous system:

Unfortunatley, I don't know a whole lot of Z owners from this area.
