For Corning, Calif. NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle rider Katie Sullivan, racing this weekend at the 31st running of the Mopar Mile-High NHRA Nationals at Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colo. is a prime opportunity to improve over last week’s lack-luster performance in Sonoma, Calif.

The 19-year old NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle sophomore enters the event after failing to qualify at her home-town race, last weekend at the Fram-Autolite NHRA Nationals contested at Infineon Raceway. Sullivan was only able to muster an event best 7.318 second elapsed time recorded in Friday night’s second qualifying session due to electrical problems encountered the entire weekend. Be that as it may, Sullivan is anxiously awaiting the opportunity to race in the rare-air of Bandimere Speedway.

“We had a lot of issues in Sonoma which we were able to diagnose on Monday after the event,” noted Sullivan, who is preparing to open her company ‘Kalifornia Katie’s Trailer Sales’ in the next few months. “Boss-dad (her name for father Charlie Sullivan) found an electrical problem which was causing a communication error from our Race-Pak computer to our engine. They weren’t speaking the same language at all,” said a giggling Sullivan.

“Racing in Denver will give us an opportunity to unleash the beast; our ‘secret weapon’,” Sullivan said of her ‘Zebra-Zilla’ themed Suzuki. “We’ve been testing our home built engine during our break from the tour, and we wanted to give it a shot in Sonoma. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out as well as we planned. We’ve been holding onto a second engine combination for the right time to debut.”
