How many times have you watched drag racing and said to yourself 'that looks easy - I could do that!’ Well, why not find out for yourself and enter the Bulldog Bash Run-Wot-You-Brung, this August 12-15th. For the uninitiated; RWYB is an open form of drag racing, where you pit your skills against a peer and ride as fast as you dare over a quarter mile drag-strip. Run-Wot-You-Brung at Bulldog 24
The Bulldog’s home, at Shakespeare County Raceway, proudly boasts one of the best racing surfaces in Europe, so it’s a great place to get your first taste of the strip - Compare track times with your mates, or just because you can - it's an experience not to be missed. RWYB (Run Wot You Brung) Track times are between 9:30 am to 5:00 pm on Friday and Saturday, 9.30 to 1.00pm on Sunday. Your bike must pass scrutineering before you run; which begins at 8:30am and continues throughout the RWYB sessions. The costs for RWYB are just £10 per day Friday, Saturday and Sunday; you can run as many times as you like within the days sessions. After each timed run, riders are presented with a 'Certificate of Speed' giving important information like reaction times to the green light, timing data from start to finish, alongside your opponents times and speeds. And if that’s not enough there are some fantastic trophies and prize money for the fastest runs in each of the following classes – American, British, European, Buell, Jap 500cc, Jap 1000cc, Jap Unlimited, Trike, Classic, Ladies and Non Road Legal - which will be presented on Saturday evening on the Main Stage.
