For those of you not “riding home” the AHDRA Northwest National’s kick-off on August 23rd at the Woodburn Dragstrip. This is exactly what riders of any championship series are anxiously waiting for…turning up the volume in the valley!
AHDRA is celebrating its 31st year of drag racing. With 16 different classes ranging from 224-mph Top Fuel bikes to the highly competitive ET class. AHDRA began as a club racing organization in the late seventies and continued over the years under many different names. All Harley Drag Racing Association (AHDRA) became the official licensed name for the sanction in 1991.
For the second consecutive year Salem Harley-Davidson is sponsoring the event. The Woodburn dragstrip is located at I-5 to exit 271, then 1.6 miles west on SR219

Greetings Mac and good morning. This proves to be an exciting event this year and a lot of riders are looking forward to it.
I’d remind all of your Pac Northwest readers, use caution when leaving the drags. After a day in the sun watching the incredible machines and riders, our throttle hands tend to……..twitch when we first get back on to head home. Law enforcement is well aware of this and their presence will likely be heavy.
Mid valley folks can catch a cool poker run that will end at the Drags in Woodburn, check out the Hub City Abate website for details.
Ride safe and have a fun day, and leaving the racing on the track.
Respects
WJ
Mac,
