AMA Dragbike, the Motorcycle Drag Racing Leader
AMA Dragbike is the largest all-motorcycle drag racing sanctioning body in the world, with a combined purse and contingency program greater than all other sanctioning bodies worldwide combined. From Larry "Spiderman" McBride's outrageous 5 second Top Fuel bike to the 7 second, 200 mph street legal monsters of Barry Henson and Kent Stotz, the world's quickest and fastest times have all been set at Prostar events.
Originally the IHRA Motorcycle Division, the concept of Prostar began with Keith "Scooter" Kizer and Jack O'Malley, the late owner of Orient Express High Performance Motorcycle Components. O'Malley enlisted the help of Joe Sway, Bob Van Sciver, and Carl Stieffenhofer. "Our first race was a one-time race for the championship in October 1989 at Atco Raceway," remembered Kizer.
Prior to the 2007 season, AMA Dragbike was purchased by Hammer Motorsports of Cincinnati, OH.
Today, AMA Dragbike draws competitors from around the world to race on the top tracks in the country. All motorcycle brands are welcome and compete on equal terms in the quickest, fastest show on two wheels.
