Bahrain: Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night to bring Unique Thrills To The BIC Strip On Thursday
Bahrain International Circuit (BIC), 'The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East', brings the excitement back to the drag strip on Thursday, February 20, 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. To book a slot or for more information, visit bahraingp.com or call the BIC Hotline on +973-17450000.
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.
For more information on Kanoo Motors Rolling Drag Night, the Dragster Experience, or other events and activities at BIC, visit the circuit's website, call the BIC Hotline, or follow the circuit's official social media channels. Source Bahrain News Agency

Singer slammed with BD6,000 fine for refusing to pay lyricist
A singer who refused to pay for lyrics has been ordered by the High Civil Court to compensate the poet BD6,000. The story began when the poet, a well-known figure in Bahrain's music scene, wrote three songs and handed them over to the singer based on a simple verbal agreement: payment would follow. But the money never came. After the poet's repeated friendly reminders were met with silence, her lawyer, Aisha Janahi, took the dispute to court. Janahi revealed that her client had worked with the singer since 2016, with their latest collaboration in 2020. Each song was valued at BD2,000, yet despite numerous requests, the singer kept delaying payment. Adding fuel to the fire, the poet demanded the court ban any use or broadcast of the songs on all platforms until the matter was settled. The songs had already been performed publicly and aired on TV and radio, both in Bahrain and overseas, without a single fils paid to the creator. The singer tried to dodge responsibility, claiming there was no proof the lyrics belonged to the poet and that the songs hadn't been officially registered. The court wasn't convinced. It ruled this wasn't about copyright but a straightforward sale of lyrics—something both parties had agreed on. Witnesses backed up the poet's case, explaining that in the music business, payment usually comes before a song is performed or delivered. The poet followed this practice with all her clients. To seal the deal, the court asked the poet to take a sworn oath confirming she had sold the three songs at BD2,000 each—and that she hadn't received a single dinar. With that, the court found the singer guilty of failing to meet her obligations and ordered her to pay the full BD6,000 to the poet—justice served for the unpaid creator.
