Quick answer: On January 31, 2022, Black Diamond Designs printed and installed the Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap for White Alligator Racing at our former shop in Alabaster, Alabama.
Project date: January 31, 2022
Location: Our former shop in Alabaster, Alabama
Team: White Alligator Racing
Rider: Karen Stoffer, NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle
Our role: Printing and installation (we did not design the graphics)
The Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap gave the White Alligator Racing motorcycle a bold red, white and black look that follows its long aerodynamic bodywork.
The Racer Behind the Karen Stoffer Drag Bike Wrap
A few weeks later, at the 2022 NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Stoffer ran 6.665 seconds at 200.71 mph on March 13, 2022, an NHRA Pro Stock Motorcycle elapsed-time record at the time, and went on to win the event.

We printed and installed the graphics. Karen Stoffer and White Alligator Racing made the history. We don’t claim the bike pictured here made the record pass or that graphics affect performance.
Installing Graphics on a Pro Stock Motorcycle
Pro Stock bikes have elongated bodywork, enclosed fairings and aggressive curves. The Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap had to follow those shapes cleanly so the design reads as one piece on every panel.

How to Plan a Project Like This
If you are planning work similar to these Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap, a few steps make the difference between graphics that fit and graphics that look intentional:
- Measure every panel, door and body line before artwork is finalized.
- Clean and prep the surface so the film bonds properly.
- Plan seams so they fall on natural body lines.
- Match logo and stripe placement from vehicle to vehicle.
- Inspect edges, recesses and hardware areas after installation.
We bring that same checklist to every job, from projects like these Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap to fleet, window, wall and specialty work across the Birmingham area, the Southeast and beyond. Ask us what your surfaces need before artwork is final; it saves time and reprints.
Why Work With a Birmingham-Based Installer
Our crew is based in Hoover, in the Birmingham metro, and we travel for projects across the Southeast and the country. That means one team handles the site survey, surface prep, installation and final walkthrough, whether the job is a single vehicle, one storefront or a multi-location rollout. On projects like this Karen Stoffer drag bike wrap job, we tell you up front what we did and did not do, so you always know who designed, printed and installed your graphics. If you are comparing installers, ask for recent photos of similar surfaces, how they handle seams and edges, and who will actually be on site. We are happy to answer all three.
