Ray Price (born 1937) is an American motorcycle drag race and is accredited as the “Father of the Funnybike". He is also a renowned designer, and engineer and the first drag racer to be sponsored by Harley-Davidson. He also developed the first wheelie bar, the two-speed automatic racing transmission for drag racing motorcycles. This was the first transmission that enabled the first motorcycle to ever achieve and has now become standard in the sport. Price also created the Pro Fuel drag racing class.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url = http://www.nationalmcmuseum.org/hall-of-fame/ray-price.aspx )〕 Price is an inducted member of four halls of fame including the American Motorcycle Association Hall of Fame, Sturgis Motorcycle Hall of Fame, and the North Carolina Drag Racing Hall of Fame.
