24th August: The Italian
Drag Racing Association is offering free entry to bike classes for their
race at Modena on 29th-30th September, which includes the final round of the European
Top Gas Series - currently led by Italy's Riccardo Gilberto.
"The Supertwin Top Gas class decided to join our race and have their finals
in Italy, so we are also inviting other bike classes to join the race for no
entry fee, in order to get a taste of our organization", says IDRA
President Lorenzo Lauro. "Super Gas and Super Street car classes are also
invited, and if we can arrange the right safety equipment then we will open the
race to Super Comp as well."
Lorenzo also told us a little about the track at Modena. "The track is 850
metres long and 20 metres wide, good flat asphalt", he says. "It is a
very nice airport and has a semi-permanent underground wiring for our Portatree
timing system, which has scoreboards, time slip printer and full qualifying
software. Chances are that during next winter the track will be increased to 1.2
kilometres."
The IDRA web site at www.dragster.it has
been updated with details of the race at Modena, including classes to be run, an
entry form, maps and a list of hotels. Lorenzo tells us that as soon as the
decision is made about Super Comp, it will be posted on the web site and that he
will send us the news for posting here, so watch this space.
