Anyone interested round 5 of ACU national drag bike championships is on at shakespeare county raceway this weekend. Should be some seriously quick action from Super Street Bikes running low 7 second passes on street legal tyres!!   Steve                                                                                                                                                                             

Sounds fun, my brother in law used to drag race Ian used to pit foe him, it was great fun. Pity we already have plans this weekend

Have fun !                                                                                                                                                                              

My plans have gone by the wayside , i used to go to santa pod years and years ago, i only up the road too, what days and time?                                                                                                                                                                              

Hi SV and Savanna, Qualifiers are Sat and Sun, with Eliminator rounds on the Monday, track opens from 10am all days depending on weather. More info on the shakespeare county raceway web site. If ya make it, come and say hi, Im running 9.50 bike, black gsxr SB313   Steve                                                                                                                                                                             

Can't make this weekend, but I will be at the FIA European Finals at Pod on 9-12th Sept                                                                                                                                                                              

Was hoping to make the FIA's, was going to crew for a mate, but cant make it, so will be the national finals for next round, followed by extreme performance bike weekend in October.  Its started coming together at last tho, ran a 9.82@144 in qualifying, although went out in 1st round elims with a 10.1. Very close race tho, as was off the line with a 0.096  Just got some work to do on the 60ft's, then we should win more than we lose   Steve                                                                                                                                                                             

Well done steve, mike used to ride a gsxr 1216 with nitros before he became too ill, best time was 8.71, sister in law (future) also races a bandit 1200 turbo of some sort think she is in 10 second class and her hubby has a busa also low 8's so lots of time spent smelling rubber lol

Cool SV, a family of drag racers lol, am hoping to run in the 8.50 class next year for a couple of outings. Will possibly be my last crack at 9.50 next year, would like to do well before moving up. But right now the chassis is holding me back. Its actually better suited to 8.50 because of rule differences would allow it to run a slick and wheelie bars which would let it launch properly without landing on its/my head lol.  In 3 seasons have managed to come a long way tho with a very limited budget, with reliability being the early issues, solved when i bought my own race bike. But even that had its own issues, trying to run it on nitrous has been a big pain and learning curve, fuel seemed to be the biggest culprit, now it runs sweetly i am just getting everything else set up to work properly, like clutch, tweaking suspension etc, have 3 tenths to find and we're on the money and should be able to get that from 60ft times which are still well down. BUT it is coming lol, am hoping within the last 2 meetings we can run 9.5-9.6 every pass!!  Steve                                                                                                                                                                             

Yeah can see one of your pics your up in the air 

Limited budget ... one of the straightliners teams travelled from Ireland ... they were farmers & used to sell off farm equipment to travel to meets & then buy it back again before they needed it                                                                                                                                                                              

"Limited budget ... one of the straightliners teams travelled from Ireland ... they were farmers & used to sell off farm equipment to travel to meets & then buy it back again before they needed it "   Lol, Team Pawnbroker?? Sounds about right tho   Steve                                                                                                                                                                             

spent the weekend at santa pod, wow those guys and girls are totally mental!!   I've loaded some some pictures of some of the sights in my profile should anyone wanna look.                                                                                                                                                                             

Thought about drag racing myself, but couldn't get on with the stilettos so stuck with road racing.                                                                                                                                                                              

But you'd look so gooood in stilettos   Watching guys doing 220mph standing 1/4's on road legal taxed bikes was brilliant, I never thought drag racing would be that interesting but when you're there it's proper good                                                                                                                                                                             

hi eveyone its great at the bulldog bash for the simple reason of watching every day people being able to drag on the track for a small fee though (shame should be free). thats one of the main reasons i go watching the track by day and the bands by night, so come on look the dates are in see if your game its the 25th this year, lets hope they get some good acts.   see you there maybe
