We take you to the 2023 NHRA Gatornationals at Gainesville Raceway where a new era of drag racing is ushered in by an incredible youth movement in the Pro Stock Motorcycle class that includes a new Gen 3 Suzuki Hayabusa body by Vance & Hines and billet cases, making the drag bike engines universal. In this video we talk to John Force, “Big Daddy” Don Garlits and NASCAR legend Tony Stewart about how drag racing can get younger and develop new stars, we get up close with all the new Pro Stock bikes and highlight the new riders and fearless females including Gaige Herrera, Chase Van Sant, Angie Smith, Jianna Salinas Evaristo, Joey Gladstone and many others.
