Looking to get some drag racing in to practice race starts etc, however, anyone's welcome to come along.

Done it quite a few times a while ago and it's a good laugh - no where near as serious as far as 'intensity' goes compared to a track day or racing; so worth a go for anyone that wants to try and push (one aspect of) their bike a bit.

Elvington:
RWUB Elvington 11th March

Santa Pod:
Feb Sun 25th Run What Ya Brung ( RWYB ) - Public Track Day
March Sun 11th Run What Ya Brung ( RWYB ) - Public Track Day
March Sun Sat 17th - Straight liners (Round 1
March Sun Sun 18th - Straight liners

Possibly, depends on money at the time, Santa pod would be best distance wise.

None at the Shakespear raceway for a while.

If a few others are going to be there i might do Elvington.

I got a bit too hooked on it with cars and spent a fortune so don't want to make the same mistake with bikes.

I think Santa Pod's likely to be the favourite so far.

What would you be taking? Question ZX9? Presumably not the 675.

Am hoping to get a bike in a month or two so would probably come by and watch.

Should be there on the 11th at Elvington. Fingers crossed for good weather. Last year it snowed and was really cold!

Will try and keep an eye out and say hello if I see anyone.
