[Pics] Test & Tune at North Weald - Motorbike Drag Racing

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Went to North Weald again this weekend .. brekkie at the Wings Café as usual, then went to the other end of the airfield for Test & Tune / North Weald Motorsport for some drag racing !

Bloody brilliant weather, lots of sights, noises and smells to enjoy.. oh and a lot of smoke.

Bikes were going up most of the day .. with the occasional parade.

Basically it was mostly just a brilliant excuse for a hoon I think...!

Lots of things to look at on display - regular bikes, weird bikes, new and old .. some bonkers homebrew stuff too.

Superchargers, turbos, turbos + NoS, two engines, inline 6-cyl engines and much more.

North Weald never fails to disappoint in the summer with everything that goes on

Fastest time of the day was in the shoot out final by ((I think) a 1400 Kawasaki was 9.34,terminal speed 151 mph.

Anyone fancy running their Clio on 10th August?

 

[Mr R.]

Nope.

Good on you.Having thought about it,I`m up for it.As far as I can tell it`s £35 for as many runs as you can make,and you can go out on the parade laps as well.I`ve got no intention of ripping up the clutch though.I`ll look into registration,as I think numbers are limited.
Anyone else,come on Smurf.
