The Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harleys were in attendance at the O'Reilly Fall Nationals, showing the NHRA crowd the sharp distinction between Nitro Harleys and Pro Stock Bikes.

Nine bikes tried for the eight spots, meaning one team would just be SOL. For the first day of qualifying, that team was Griz Robinson's, but they fought back on Saturday and bumped out Steve Ruggiero. Unfortunately, Robinson's bike broke in Round 1.

Doug Vancil was the No. 1 qualifier with a 6.466 at 211.83 mph.

Mark Revels' 2002 Harley was in the bump spot, but never had a chance, coming up against Vancil in the first round.
