Alvin Kobernusz Racing
This guy is a farmer from Manly, Iowa who runs Top Fuel. He's fast. Alvin has put some pretty fast company on the trailer after the first round. He fell off last year at Sturgis (at least he got the crash out of the way) but, I hope that didn't slow him down too much. These bikes use about 2 1/2 gallons of nitro per run - at $25 a gallon. Hmmmmm? Not very fuel efficient. He's still a newby . . . but, his learning curve has been quick. When you have a motorcycle under you with 700 horsepower - there's not much time for mistakes !

I can never say his last name, so I just call him "Farmer Brown". Hell of a nice guy.
