It has been 13 years since the NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle class saw 20-year-old rookie phenom L.E. Herrera is a bit older than Tonglet was when he took the class by storm. Tonglet was a rookie, while Herrera competed in six races last year as a protégé of Gary and Karen Stoffer. Herrera started making his mark from the first weekend of the season as the newest racer at well-heeled, 13-time champion Vance & Hines. At the first three races for the part-time Pro Stock Motorcycle category, Herrera won from the No. I just wish my great-grandfather (John Herrera) would have been here to see it. He started all of this with our whole family racing,” Herrera said.
