BIC on a roll

Motorsport enthusiasts will have the opportunity to engage in head-to-head battles with fellow-speed lovers in a unique format down the circuit’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip from 7pm to midnight.

Interested participants can invite their family or friends and bring their very own cars or motorbikes for an exciting one-on-one challenge. But instead of a traditional standing start, this time participants can begin their run down the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA)-sanctioned strip at a rolling speed of 80kph.

 Of course, cars and motorbikes must thus go through scrutineering before being able to hit the strip.

To participate, it’s BD22 for each driver or rider and spectators can watch from the stands for a fee of BD2.
 
Those that wish to be a passenger rather than a participant will surely enjoy 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 at the BIC, visit the website, call the BIC Hotline, or follow the circuit's official social media channels.
