The first drag racer inducted into the Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame had almost retired this elegant Knucklehead gone Nitro. Hill made a special effort to fire up the Knuckle. Its distinctive pop-pop-pop brought tears to nitro fans in attendance at the annual Ray Price Winter Open House (and it wasn't just the nitro fumes).

"Pearshape" represents the early Midwestern drag racing efforts. He raced through the mid and late '50s with the Kansas City Chainstretchers.

Price was an inducted member of four halls of fame including the AMA Hall of Fame, National Motorcycle Hall of Fame, Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame, North Carolina Drag Racing Hall of Fame, and the East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame; and is noted as the Father of the Funnybike. He was instrumental in creating the current style racing transmission. Price also designed the first successful wheelie bar for bikes, allowing more power to the rear wheel without flipping the bike over.

North Carolina native turned drag racer, Turner had served as "hired gun" for several teams including Ray Price Racing before settling in with Richmond-based Team Bulldog's Bobby Buckley, Scott Buckley, Danny Lowe, and Bobby Page.

Turner is the '99 IHRA Screamin' Eagle Nitro Harley Champion.
