Drag Racing General Drag Racing - Land Speed Stuff

Heathcote Park Raceway has a couple of 'Bike only' events scheduled for the next few months.

 

Portland finally managed to get some good weather and the racers flocked there in big numbers (160+).

Rolling burnout...not sure how this finished up; that front end/wheel looks like it is already on the stops! I'd take my fingers off that front brake lever too.

 

Well, just to confirm that the 6.65sec HQ is street driven, it has been entered in the 2023 Drag Challenge. The Drag Challenge is a good old-fashioned drive-drag safari taking in multiple drag strips on a back-to-back basis over a number days. Details in this article.

And, here's a pic of it driving between events.



And some YT vid of some of the contestants



And a final warning; if a silver GTS HQ with a licence plate that reads 'Bolics' pulls up next to you at the lights, DO NOT pick a drag race with it.
