Hoping to run in next 30mins so stay tuned... we want this backed up if we can so its 100% official, however a 8.35 first run out of trailer for 2014 will do for us anyway. It great to see the time and effort paying off, I'm sure Richie will do the thank yours but until then keep that foot pressed right down....... after all its been a long quite winter.....  BTW... Bracket racing... PETE expected to see you with the motor bikes with that gearbox of yours.... |

You were saying? Number 1 qualifier, read what they wrote on eurodragster on the feed, I think they were a little surprised as well |

Amazing runs, and plenty more left in it from the sound of it! As for bracket racing, it does have it's place, as do fixed index and heads up. Richie simply picks the class that will allow him to go as quick as he can.

1st pass today and it was like the old car, bug wheelie in 1st gear, back down and even bigger in 2nd, it bent the wheelie bar center bar like a banana, been out and made a new one, cut the ends out of the old one and welded into a new thicker bar,all ready to go again now. Thanks to Andy Sykes for the use of his workshop and the tube |
