He notes his role often comes in midgame while Hector Yzquierdo starts and that defense remains a work in progress as he and Yzquierdo share shortstop duties.

Local Harley hobbyist wins on distant drag track
Baytown shop owner and rider Kevin Turner builds a 1973 Harley Sportster hybrid from junk parts. In Gulfport Mississippi he won first in the Open Fuel drag division at the HDRA Spring Nationals with a 9.02 second quarter mile and about 150 mph. Turner races with Houston area partners Sonny Beery and William Christian, handling mechanics rather than driving, and notes the bike runs 225 to 240 horsepower on a two to one gear ratio. He emphasizes pride in building it himself and pursues flying model airplanes as a separate hobby.
