Tracy Kile of Bad Apple racing will face off against Rich Vreeland in the final pair on race day. T.K. as he’s often referred to has a 6.44 showing in his hand, but his cards run deeper than what he’s showing so far this race. Rich Vreeland’s 6.76 is his quickest pass ever on his T/F bike so Rich will have to step it up a bunch to stay ahead of Tracy if the Bad Apple man puts the spurs to his horses. Tracy’s normal runs are in the thirties and so far this season he’s been mighty consistent. This could be a good match up if Rich can step up.

While Kevin Boyer of Boyer Racing did not make the show, his trip from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, in support of Top Fuel Harley racing is well noted. His team just could not get the combination right this race so they are packed and ready for the next race. Let’s face it, the 1320 teaches us all new things every outing. Kevin and his team are ready for that next race and at least they got to see a Red Sox game at Fenway Park while they were in town.

Peter Geiss of Huntington, NY, also did not make the show. This was his first race in competition with his Top Fuel bike. The machine was once the monster owned and ridden by “Chicago Joe” and it’s a beast. Peter will get it together over time and we’ll see him again this season. Nice jacket, man!
