🏁 THE IS BACK ON THE STRIP! 🏁
Normally set up for — and much more at home on the race circuit. But once a year, we throw a drag tyre on the back, drop the suspension down (to stock ride height) and point this big yellow missile at the quarter mile. 😈
After a two-year hiatus from the strip — due to a DNS in 2025 — it was time to swap the track setup to a drag setup and head to All Bike Day // Willowbank Raceway
Igor was understandably a little rusty on his return, putting together four qualifying passes:
⏱️ 10.424
⏱️ 10.263
⏱️ 10.097
⏱️ 10.009 — matching our previous PB from 2024.
Then racing began… 🔥
Igor found himself staged beside one of the most formidable opponents in the country — Fred Badcock from Procycle Dyno, aka "The Spiderman", aboard his force-fed Harley-Davidson Low Rider.
Stand down? Not a chance.
Igor belted out a NEW PB — 9.981 @ 143.34 mph on a 9.98 dial-in.
🥇 WIN — just 0.001 sec off breaking out!
Second round… well… Igor still isn't talking about that one. 😂
All we know is he saw the red light and nearly sent the Hyperbusa to the moon. 🚀
Third round brought another win with a much more relaxed 10.535 pass.
What a day! 🤘
Huge thanks to all the crew at racing for welcoming us into your pits and making us feel at home. Absolute legends.
And a massive CONGRATULATIONS to Jason Clarkin on an incredible new PB of 8.92 @ 162 mph! 🔥 Representing us brilliantly as always, Jason. Legend!
We'll be back in 2027.
