Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night to bring unique thrills to BIC strip tomorrow
Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), 'The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East', brings the excitement back to the drag strip on Thursday (Editor's note: 20 February) with the widely popular Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night.
The event offers motorsport enthusiasts the opportunity to engage in head-to-head battles in their very own cars or motorbikes with fellow-speed lovers down BIC's world-class quarter-mile drag strip.
Interested participants can invite their family or friends for an exciting one-on-one challenge. But instead of a traditional standing start, they will begin their run at a rolling speed of 80kph.
Thursday's event is scheduled for 7pm to 12midnight.
The cost to be a part of the Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night is BD22 for each driver or rider. Spectators can watch from the stands for a fee of BD2.
Just as in all activities at the circuit, safety is paramount for all taking part. Cars and motorbikes must go through scrutineering before being able to hit the BIC strip, which is a part of the NHRA Worldwide Network of the U.S.-based National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).
Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night makes for a unique experience, putting fans into an engaging, yet friendly, duel. Both participants will be able to push their vehicles to their limit within the secure and controlled environment at BIC.
Meanwhile, also available on Thursday is BIC's most mind-boggling passenger ride: the Dragster Experience.
Known as 'The Fastest Ride on Earth', fans will have a chance to get a taste of pure speed as they are taken from zero to 100kph in just one second while in the cockpit of a 10,500cc Top Dragster. The Dragster Experience is available at BD44 for the first passenger while a second passenger can get 50 per cent off.
