Prairie Fire Racing

Ken Kent, original owner of Harley-Davidson® of Edmonton, is proud to have been the first Canadian to exceed 200 mph in a quarter mile at the Mission, BC. Harley® drags in the summer of 1998! He couldn't have done it without his crew and support system of family, friends & customers. Watching Ken hit a top speed of 202.33 mph in the 1/4 mile brought every single spectator in Mission, BC to their feet with shrieks of disbelief and exhilaration! Five years later, back in Las Vegas, it was fitting that during what ended up being Ken's final weekend of racing in November 2011, he made his very best pass ever - 6.48 seconds and 219+ mph. How do you retire after experiencing the G forces that Ken has? What takes the place of the hustle and bustle and intensity of all those weekends at the track (and the thousands of miles in between) where life is measured in micro seconds and grenade motors are often part of the program? Only time will tell but for now, Ken is enjoying the ease of unstructured time to spend with his beloved family, and being able to hop on a new Harley® and head out on the open road at a speed somewhat less than Mach IV.
