Kraviec rode a special military-themed Harley-Davidson V-Rod (which was voted NHRA's Best Appearing Vehicle at Pomona) as part of Harley-Davidson Military Appreciation Month. He pushed the Screamin' Eagle V-Rod to a 6.811-second ET that broke the 6.815 class record set by Hines on September 4 at Indianapolis.
“I had a really awesome bike all weekend, and we didn’t make a tuning change to it until before the final round,” said Krawiec. “I saw Hector go red and just made my run, and the V-Rod flew fast and straight into the record books. It’s really cool to get a win and the record with the military paint on this bike right after Veteran’s Day, and it’s a great way to end a season that was a real struggle for me at times.”
During the 17-race 2010 NHRA Full Throttle drag racing season, Screamin' Eagle/Vance & Hines riders Hines and Krawiec combined for seven event wins, 11 final-round appearances, and two national ET records. Hines appeared in the finals nine times and scored wins at Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Brainerd, and Reading. Krawiec had wins at Gainesville and Pomona.
In the final Pro Stock Motorcycle point standings for NHRA Full Throttle Countdown, Tonglet finished first with 2,681 points. Hines is second with 2,677. Krawiec finished third with 2,599 points.
