Riding on Mickey Thompson tires, Keith Browne put
on a stunning performance at the Oct. 8-9 Jim
McClure Nitro Nationals presented by the Carolina
Harley-Davidson Dealers Association at Rockingham
Dragway.
In the qualifying round, Browne thrilled the crowd
in his turbocharged Pro Gas Harley-Davidson 45-
degree, V-Twin on motorcycle tire size 2.50/2.75-18
at the front, and motorcycle drag tire size
28.0/10.5-15S on the rear, setting a new AHDRA
world speed record of 199.32 miles per hour and an
ET of 6.925 seconds.
“This was the first time that we have used the
Mickey Thompson tire on the rear of our bike, and
we can testify without a doubt that this tire was
the singular reason we were able to achieve the
speeds and elapsed times that we did,” says
Browne.
“We have never before been able to achieve times in
the sixes, and we will never use anything else but
Mickey’s from now on,” he reports. “We want to
extend our sincere thanks to our friend Don Plesser
of PR Factory Store and Carl Robinson at Mickey
Thompson for getting us the tire that has taken us
to a new level.”
