Dragbike European Championship and Dragbike Junior Cup: the season started at Santa Pod Raceway

Dragbike European Championship and Dragbike Junior Cup:
the season started at Santa Pod Raceway

It was a great day of racing at Santa Pod Raceway, where the Dragbike European Championship and Dragbike Junior Cup kicked off with the first round of the season. Over the weekend the event was attended by 30.000 spectators with spectacular runs, close racing and several surprises.
The most contended classes were Top Fuel Bike and Super Street Bike, in which the competition was fierce with a far-above-par number of outstanding results that can be seen as absolute top-of-the-bill worldwide.
Notably the qualifying sessions between Rikard Gustafsson from Sweden and Neil Midgley from England in TopFuel, between Marcus Christiansen from Denmark and Vesa Lipponen in Super Twin and between Daniël Donat Lencses and Alan Morrison from England in Super Street brought extreme and nail-biting competition.
It’s an understatement to call this event a historic experience.

Two new records set, both for top speed: Alan Morrison with a speed of 370 kph in Super Street and Rikard Gustafsson with a mind-blowing 420 kph in Top Fuel Bike.

The winners of the event
TopFuelBike – Neil Midgley, GBR
Super Twin Bike – Marcus Christiansen, DEN
ProStockBike – Bertrand Maurice, FRA
SuperStreetBike – Alan Morrison, GBR
Junior Dragbike – Richard Willcox, GBR
