I think you nailed it on the head there billy...its Drag Racing...well straight line racing in any form...

Very close, look in my signature see if it helps. It's not drag racing.

We call it a sprint in our racing circles, it's better known as _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ speed trials.

                                I found one called the Cefn Sidan Speed Trials. That's probably not it though.

                  BTW, anyone know how old the International Six Day Trials event is? Just Curious, not trying to hi-jack or anything. ;)
                                                      Later on. Bill :) ;)

           Heyyyy!!!  I had to do a lot of on-line searching for that one. My and my ol' cheap pc did it together. ;D

                          I feel pretty good to have come up with the answer, especially since I ain't exactly pc literate. ::)  I knew I couldn't find anything by searching Don Garlits in any way what so ever and wondered why.  Dean Moon huh, that's cool. I'll tell ya, with you gettin' older and more mixed up, it sure ain't helpin' me either (since I'm ALSO gettin' older and more mixed up. ;D ::))

                                                         Later on, Bill :) ;)

       Last check I did was to look under "Speed Trials Events In England" ;)

Hi Sam , i saw Tommy Robb  at stafford show  ;)  mick.

Hi Mick, what's the betting he was sat down  :D :D :D like me, he's getting a bit long in the tooth, I was chatting with him for about 20 minutes and squated down to come to his level and couldn't get back up  ;D ;D ;D

I've known Tommy for quite a number of years, he lives just down the road from me.
A mate of mine, Harold Nutall rebuilt an NSU sports max that Tommy rode in the 50s, I got to spanner on it at the Ulster Grand Prix, twice in the late 90s and again in 2001.
He was only parading it but as old as he is, he hasn't lost the touch.
Although he's riddled with arthritis, he's more comfortable on a bike than sitting in a chair.

Sam. ;)
