I have heard of some drag racing along Brighton prom some time in september.

Can anybody shine a light on this and confirm that this is going to take place, and give a definite date.

I think the drag racing is a separate thing to the brighton burn up, at least I've never seen drag racing when I've been on the burn up.

That said, if you have never done the burn up you should do it at least once!

You mean The Brighton Speed Trials on Sept 11. Not drag but sprint. I have applied to race but it is always very over subscribed.

I don't think so mate, they don't inspect your bikes or anything. Not 100% though. I can't see anything about it being a requirement on the website https://www.rwyb.co.uk/index.htm.I'll ask when I go up Sunday if your interested?

Just so happens that i'll be in Hove that weekend with nothing* to do whilst mrsgixer is on a 2-day training course down there.
So, i may well pop along too.

*Nothing, other than getting very wasted with an old pal who lives down there.
