Why Junior Dragbikes?
Because its top fun!
Let me expand a little:
While Drag racing in Britain seems to be steadily on the increase,
there are still very few young (under thirty) riders becoming involved
in motorcycle drag racing. This cannot be helped by the lack of
a youth class from which racers can graduate. Motorcycle Drag Racing
is one of the very few motorsports that does not have a form of
youth class.
From 2002 the ACU has a junior drag bike class. Having looked at
the car classes, and particularly the popularity of the Junior drag
race series, it is a natural progression to follow suit with motorcycles.
The objective is to generate more interest and involve
youth and families in motorcycle drag racing by introducing a junior
class. The structure for which would operate on a similar basis
to the tried and tested formulae adopted in both America (cars &
bikes) and Europe (cars only).

Driving force behind the genesis of Junior Dragbikes 'Rush', with his son Jake's CG125
engined bike. Notice that this is not a small engined bike, rather a perfect
scaled down version of a regular Top Fuel Supertwin bike. OK, OK, I know
it's a single, but who cares when it looks this good.
