FRANK HAWLEY'S DRAG SCHOOL
GAINESVILLE, FL

2 Wheels...250 H.P.

Strap on a Pro Stock Suzuki and drop the hammer at 9,000 rpm; 5 gears and 7 seconds later, you're at 170 mph. It's like being shot from a cannon. This is Pro Stock Motorcycle racing. George Bryce, your personal instructor, has a reputation for developing champions. His teams and riders have won countless national championships in NHRA, AMA ProStar and IDBA.

THIS IS THE ONLY PROFESSIONALLY RUN PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE COURSE IN THE WORLD.
Here you will learn how to ride and race high performance 7 second motorcycles. Our bikes have Kosman chassis with 15x10 tires and GSXR bodies. These 250 horsepower 4 valve Suzukis are equipped with on-board Racepak computers.

LIKE ALL OUR COURSES, THIS COURSE STARTS WITH CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, equipment fitting and safety instruction. This is followed by an introduction to the motorcycles and their controls. This prepares you for burnout practice and the runs, which we do in progressive lengths.

FOLLOWING EVERY RIDING SESSION, you will return to the classroom to watch your performance on videotape and receive individualized instruction. You will also learn how to analyze your performance from the Racepak computer tape.

WE EMPHASIZE THE INDIVIDUAL IN ALL OUR COURSES.
The Pro Stock Motorcycle class is limited to give you the maximum "hands on" instruction. Each student progresses at his or her own ability and pace, no one is rushed or held back by the progress of the class. Every student receives the same number of runs regardless of the size of the class.

IN ADDITION TO RIDING INSTRUCTION FROM GEORGE BRYCE, this course also offers basic pro stock motorcycle set-up and tuning. You may earn your NHRA competition license during this course if you receive approval from the instructor.

THIS COURSE IS OPEN TO THOSE who have high performance motorcycle riding experience and a valid state motorcycle license.
