The Topbike schedule is out and there are some big changes.
The schedule is still 10 races long but it will end
on August 14 at the "Jet Cars under the Stars"
show.
We are also
racing at all three major evening shows this year as
well as 2 Sundays. The 2 Sundays are the day after a
Saturday race so make plans to stay over night!!
We are still
an IHRA track for 2004. You will need to get a IHRA
competition license if you do not have one already.
It is very easy especially if you have a NHRA license.
Just apply on-line at http://www.ihra.com/membership/index.html
and IHRA will give you a license with NO testing or
physical needed if you have a NHRA license. Other wise
you will need to do testing (but no physical). You may
want to join the points program. It will give you a
$5.00 discount on entry per race as well as a shot a
some end of year money for the Top finishers. You can
join the points program on-line at http://www.newenglanddragway.com/points/ptsapp04.shtml.
There is NO Quick 8 this year but Topbike is racing
the same races that Quick 8 was. We encourage the Quick
8 racers to race our series we need your support.
Mufflers are required at New England Dragway on all
vehicles BUT it is no big deal.
Dynatech Vortex Insert Cones http://www.dynatechheaders.com
comes in sizes 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 4.5 in and will fit in
the megaphone if you drill 2 or 3 5/16 holes. It does
NOT effect performance. We run these inserts on 7 second
bikes with NO2 and it doesn't slow them down a lick
and can be easily pulled out.
They are
also available from www.summitracing.com
There has been rumours that New England Dragway may
become a NHRA facility in the future and get a major
national race. NHRA officials were at the track with
some of the track board of directors on the last race
day of the year to assess the facility.
They were
told that if the facility made more improvements that
they would probably get the BIG race. This is still
probably about 2 years away.
We are still in search for a series sponsor as well
as associate sponsors. We are working on the package
for the series sponsor plan but we are accepting associate
sponsors at this time. It cost $225 a year to be an
associate sponsor and it entitles you to trackside shared
billboard space as well as the ability to participate
in the contingency program. You will also receive space
on www.Topbike1.com
and on all news postings to www.dragbike.com
See ya at the track!
