2022 Bagger Racing League - Round 1 Utah
Utah Motorsports Campus, May 13 - 14, 2022
The first round of this year's Bagger Racing League Drag Specialties 'Battle Of The Baggers' saw reigning series champions Trask Performance take the premier Bagger GP Class win with "Insane" Shane Narbone bring the Road Glide home by less than half a second - from second placed race legend Ben Bostrom, on the Feuling Parts 'Flying Pig', with Hawk Mazzotta (Nowaskey Extreme Performance) third.
While Nick Trask's Phoenix, Arizona based team were rightly able to glory in their continued success, kudos to Feuling's "Flying Pigs" and veteran Ben Bostrom for getting onto the Podium for the first time in this first of (currently) three planned rounds.
Feuling's Luke Leatherman and his crew travelled to Utah with expectations high for the premier class of Bagger GP racing.
The Flying Pig saw some huge performance gains heading into the race weekend with Feuling's 592 short travel camchest kit married to its refreshed M-8 engine.
"This is our, as we like to call it, 'big nasty Put your big boy pants on and get serious' camshaft - offered for all Milwaukee Eight engines. Our freshly tuned short stroke motor, also armed with our Feuling Race Series lifters, oiling system, BA HighFlow air cleaner and anti-reversion exhaust system, shined on the track.
"With the 592 camchest kit installed we saw our peak performance numbers from the dyno translate directly to the racetrack, all with the exact same components riders' local Drag Specialties dealer can install on their own builds, directly out of our parts catalog.
"Through a full day's worth of practice sessions leading up to qualifying, the bike only seemed to get better with pressure. There were a few minor adjustments needed, including a blown fuse that nearly ended the weekend early, but the bike came off the track from qualifying with Ben Bostrom sitting in pole position for the main event later that afternoon.
"From the start we had our eyes set on the podium, and with each lap of the final race it became more and more apparent Ben and the Flying Pig were a force to be reckoned with. As the battle came to a close, Team Feuling saw yet another level conquered as we surpassed our previous best and took second overall.
"With each appearance of the Flying Pig in the Bagger GP, the crew in the pits get hungrier for the tallest step of the podium to be occupied by the Feuling name, just as it has so many times throughout our history."
