Initial fire up of the slightly personalised «Hem Hagon»... I simply LOVE the stance of the 2.00 K40 Heidenau in combo with the M&H slick in the back.. so that’ll always be my go to choice for those drag frames. Changed the bike back to the og Hagon gas tank which is suuuch a cool item and totally fits and balances out the bike. Race Sunday wasn’t a big succes due to bad brakes... I should’ve gotten into them a little deeper.. glazed brake shoes with 0,00 stopping power weren’t gonna be of any help right after the 1/8th 🤷🏻‍♂️. I hit the grass strip during my 2nd test so descided not to run the track and risk worse. Anyway, I’ll take care of the brakes in the next few weeks. Meanwhile I left you guys a little Britt rumble to enjoy. 🤙🏼

Where do I even start... first of all I am beyond stocked and overly delighted to show you guys my new sprinter. Between having a vintage dragbike-seed planted in my head years ago, buying a first dragbike project and adding a third early Hagon frame to the fleet is quite the feeling. It’s almost as if they’re destined to be together ... the « Haydn Special », the « Hem Hagon » and « War Bird ». The specs as for now would be: stretched Hagon frame, rear 18” Borrani with MH Racemaster, front 17” Borrani with Avon Speedmaster, 750 Morgo barrels, dual 1“3/16 Wal Phillips fuel injectors, Norton AMC gbox, unknown magneto and unknown engine type or internals.
More to come... enjoy for now 🎄🤛🏼✊🏼💨⏱🏁

ALF HAGON 🏁

On this day…
Duxford, Cambridgeshire. July 9th 1967. Alf Hagon became the first UK rider to record a sub-ten second standing quarter mile. Having enlarged the JAP’s blower inlet port and with a 30% nitro load he first put in a 10.10/150 which resulted in a bit of a scare as the front tyre was flat by the end of the run. His second run was a 10.03. He then lowered the pressure in the rear slick for his third attempt and recorded a 9.93, the first time this had been achieved outside the USA. The following month he lowered the new record to 9.86, again at Duxford.
