The A-team from Gruene Harley-Davidson painstakingly disassembled the brand-new Low Rider and installed a myriad of aftermarket hop-up parts from the aforementioned companies as well as treated a ton of OEM parts to loving from the local powder coater, Powder Coat Customs.

When that’s done, it will be time to head to the track for the Hooligan Dirt Dash presented by Law Tigers for the race opening ceremony, then racers will line up who have traveled from far and near to compete in this daring dance of speed and style in the 1/8th mile oval made of dirt. The Hooligan Dirt Dash race series made it debut in Sturgis, South Dakota during the 75th Sturgis Motorcycle Rally at the legendary Sturgis ½ Mile dirt track. Because it’s run “outlaw” style largely self-governed by competitors; no official sanctioning body; very few rules for classification beyond rider skill and/or engine displacement Hooligan Dirt Dash races have a grassroots vibe that makes them super popular with fans including a Kids Race, Kickstart Race and Run What You Brung race classes both with ride in registration. The Kickstart Race and Run What You Brung classes have Free Registration between the hours of 12:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. Sign up at the Race Registration tent; first come, first serve.
