Star Racing Top Gas Class Winner
As one of the members of the Manufacturers Cup group, Star Racing was the proud class sponsor for the Top Gas class.

Star Racing would also like to congratulate our own Chaz Kennedy who raced one of the Star Racing Drag School motorcycles in the Top Gas class. After qualifying No. 2 in Top Gas, Chaz advanced to the semifinals where Tony took him out with a near-perfect pass before going on to win the event.

Star Racing Top Gas Class
Top Gas is the quickest index class contested at Manufacturers Cup events and is considered the stepping-stone into the Pro ranks. Most bikes compete with either big displacement normal aspirated motors to nitrous or turbocharged machines. All compete with a heads-up, pro tree start. Top Gas is run on qualified 64 bike field, based on a standard of 8.20 in the quarter mile (5.20 in the eighth mile). Standard safety requirements are the only class rules. During qualifying, runs quicker than the 8.20/5.20 index will be placed at the bottom of the qualifying sheet. During eliminations, runs quicker than the standard disqualify the rider under Handicap "break-out" procedures.
