Barry Henson will be among those hitting the strip during Kingsport Cycles Bike Night.
With the AMA Dragbike Summer Nationals at Bristol Dragway June 20-22, a handful of the tour's most popular riders will visit Kingsport Cycles Bike Night at Street Fights on Thursday, June 19 to tune their two-wheel missiles for the weekend's activities.

Among the riders planning to take part in Bike Night are Suzuki factory riders Darren Burnett, Barry Henson and Mike Flowe.  Rickey Gadsen, a Kawasaki-backed rider, also will be in attendance. 

Larry "Spiderman" McBride, one of the tour's fastest and most popular riders, will be available to meet fans and sign autographs during the event.  McBride currently sits atop the Top Fuel category points standings.

On Thursday night, the Charter Bandits will be contested among the eight fastest bikes instead of the eight fastest cars.  The top riders throughout the evening will see if they have what it take to earn bragging rights as the region's fastest street-legal motorcycle. 

Kingsport Cycles Bike Night begins when gates open at 5:00 p.m.  Racing action begins at 6:00 p.m.  Spectator admission is $5, while competitor admission is only $10.
