This weekends Springspeed Festival at Shakespeare county raceway is the 2nd round of the ACU championship. Nearly every possible bike and car class will be thrown into the mix. Classes that didn't run at the Easter event such as the Supertwins, will be there and should provide plenty of entertainment.
In the Competition bike class there are 8 entries. Unlike the last meeting though i don't have to do any observed or licensing runs as they are all done and out of the way. And to my relief, i received my full racing license from the ACU yesterday, so i now hold a full national Class 2 License, entitling me to race anything going! inc a top fuel bike should anyone need me to ride one on their behalf!
Soooo ...... as long as i do the right weather dance this time and the track stays dry, every pass will count as a qualifying run. The schedule for each day hasn't been published yet but I'm hoping for at least 2 runs per day. As i still haven't done a full 1/4 mile run on the bike i would like to get at least one in without using nitrous, so when i do turn it on i can see how much more the nitrous gives.
I still have the 36Hp jets in and i don't have any more so thats what I'm stuck with. I have a feeling it will be more than enough for my first real event.
The final entry list can be seen here. Live updates and reports on the race action can be seen here, and the eurodragster.com webcam can be seen here
We will be setting off on Friday night, so i need to load the van tomorrow so i can set off straight after work. This time Sam and Yohann can't make it, so I'm missing an all important video camera operator. Hopefully i can get someone to record some footage and take some pictures so I'll have something to post on my return.
