Is it for me?
Junior dragbike racing is designed to be as affordable
and as accessible as possible, but with no compromise on safety.
We appreciate that this is your own blood out there and there is
nothing more precious.
As with all motor sport it costs, but how much is
really up to you. The rules state that you may use any make or model
of engine, and any configuration with in your capacity limit. So
you get quite a choice. With a wide range of engine options being
available second hand if you chose, the cost need not be at all
excessive. Ring around your local motorcycle breakers or check out
your local free ads paper.
For those who would like a ready to race bike or
haven't the time or the facilities to build their own, then there
are several builders out there; ready, willing and able to take
up the challenge for you.
Keep an eye on the site and I am sure that names and numbers will
soon be available.
Doesn't the size of my pocket limit my chances
of winning?
You do not have to be either the fastest or the most expensive bike
out there to win! The races are run on an ET dial in basis i.e.
(elapsed time) you run as close as you can to the time you say you
will. A rider saying they will run 19 seconds and actually running
19.2 sec's will win over a racer dialling in 12 seconds and actually
running 12.5 sec's. So you don't have to be the fastest, you just
need to be the most consistent. This is a great way to start racing.
Drag racing is a great weekend out for the family,
with top facilities in a safe environment.
It can involve all members, or just a couple but either way it will
mean working together and learning together.
