During qualifying for the AHDRA Jim McClure Nitro Nationals presented by the Carolina Harley-Davidson Dealers Association at the Rockingham Dragway on the weekend of October 8-9, Pro Gas rider Keith Browne thrilled the crowd on hand with a new world speed record of 199.32 MPH to go along with s stout elapsed time of 6.925 seconds. Browne’s machine, which features a turbocharged, 45-degree Harley-Davidson V-Twin powerplant, rides on a set of Mickey Thompson motorcycle tire 2.50/2.75-18 (part #3210) on the front and Drag tire size 28.0/10.5-15S (part #3055S) on the rear.

“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,” stated 
Keith Browne of Browne Racing. “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. 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.”

Browne’s turbocharged Harley-Davidson racing program was fully funded and custom built including the body, fabrication, paint, and more by the Browne family; Keith’s father, recently retired AHDRA racer and record holder Ken Browne, Keith’s older brother Pete, and mother, Linda.
