Sat 9th July - Devon drag racing

Post by ptolemyx »

Still have the itch so I'm hoping to be there on track for a few test runs - nothing serious. Anyone fancy coming to watch or even have a go :?:

Yeah, count me in for this one Brian. I trust Team Ptolemyx will have the requisite tea/coffee facilities available for any press-ganged spanner twirlers the Busa may need? . . . . . . it IS a Suzuki! :)):

And ..... er' ... July 7th is a Thursday so I'll obey the poster date instead and go on the 9th :mrgreen: .

I'll be just whacking the wheel with the Shinko drag tyre on and dropping from road pressure when I get there as well as strapping the front end down. There should be on site caterers providing lollipops and candyfloss for the car drifting peeps and tea/coffee and bacon butties for the grown-ups on the quarter mile.

So you're riding there then. I'll be on me trumpet but doubt if I'll use it as a drag bike on the day, I'll save that for the SWB rideouts :)): . I suppose info' re' start time, admission prices etc are on the Dakota Raceway website? What time are you getting there?

I’m thinking, the weather looks good. I might come up to watch, then pitch the tent somewhere local before joining the Sunday ride.
Jay, are you heading up for this?
Or anyone else from Truro?

Mike, I personally won't be able to be doing any quarter mile action today. Still worth a visit to see some grass roots straightlining, also the drift car boys will be playing.

Thanks for letting me know.
I ran into a little tooth problem last night. So I won’t be putting my helmet in for a few days.
Catch up another time.
