Hey mark, we can be cheerleaders.

But not in a Grease/annoying fake 'fifties' style (see photo above)/psychobilly/rollergirl way. Just with cans raised.

I am soooo IN!

@Sano, I think it's gotta be fixed otherwise you could have a low GI and just cruise it out once you get to top speed.

Also, I don't think GI should be limited. Just turn up with whatever you ride and see how it goes.

@Gustav, is it just on a road that's really quiet or have you found something else?

Rollapaluza can lend you a Gazebo......we also have a mini-PA, that has built in batteries....good for background music and announcements, but prob not loud enough to create a disturbance. if you want that too.....

did I put this in the right thread?

Gustav. I really want to do this. I have a massive deadline that day and am hoping I can put everything to bed early in the day in which case I will be there but cannot commit just yet.

Is it wise to have all kinds of gazebo stuff.. this is unsanctioned road racing = illegal. You wanna make a swift exit when the coppers rock up, no?

It's the wick. The police won't be inteserted.

it's in a park area...more worried about wayward yoofs rather than cops rocking up

In the Events Calendar

The police won't be inteserted.

inte-serted? some kind of new ritual?

Likely to be from around 7pm. Idea is to get people down there, run a few races then continue drunken tomfoolery elsewhere

Just picked this up from gumtree. I'll to kill some puppies but it should be a sweet ride.

You can keep that bike, dude – it looks rubbish!

Hey mark, we can be cheerleaders. Just with cans raised.

You're getting naked?

Yeah.. just casual, chilled out bunch of guys and gals racing up and down the road.. nothing serious to it at all. With that in mind, I'll be using my commuter, as below..

I'm not scared, you don't have any pedals...

I heard Hippy has a 6 threaded toe on the side of each foot so he doesn't need pedals...

the idea of drag sprints sounds like way cool and uncomplicated fun to me. I can't make it this time round but will defo be up for it next time if it happens again.
