HTP Performance Inc. is a motorcycle performance shop located in Richmond, VA. Specializing in Drag Racing, Owner/Crew Chief, Cecil Towner, has built some of the fastest motorcycles in the WORLD. This page was set up to chronicle Team HTP's Race Season.

HTP's nitrous-powered GSXR1000 once-again dominated in its class and claimed another MiRock Real Street championship in 2009. Already a record-breaking ride into the 7s, Cecil Towner is confident that his new hire, noted NHRA rider Ryan Schnitz, has the rider skills to take this bike to a whole new level.

Keith Thompson and Lavar Delee will now battle it out in the highly-competitive Pro Street Class. Typically a turbo-driven class, Cecil Towner has taken on the challenge of building a nitrous ProStreet bike. Despite the naysayers, he is fully confident that his 08 Hayabusa will be competitive in this class featuring the world's quickest street bikes.

The Big Debut

HTP settled in on the Midway for the first race of the season at South Georgia Motorsports Park. Test & tune went well Thursday.

Real Street Busa ran 8.13s on its first test pass and went back in the trailer.

True Street Champ, Keith Thompson, tested a new motor and nitrous system on his GSXR 1000. Had some issues, but still ran competitive numbers while breaking up. The HTP team still hopes to break their 8.01s pass this weekend.

The long-awaited reveal of the HTP ProStreet Busa brought the team much attention and compliments. For now, the team is testing only on the motor until they are confident it will withstand the 5 stages of nitrous they plan to feed it.


Stay tuned online on Dragbike Live for this weekend's live coverage.
