21/11/01 : As promised, we have pics from the NEC show for your perusal and I also took time-out to do a write-up for those of you who missed the show.

15/11/01 : Dragster Gallery 10 is finally here, as usual, more to come.

14/11/01 : November is showtime and yesterday's trip to the The International Motorcyle & Scooter Show at the NEC in Birmingham revealed two things; firstly, scooters are more popular than ever with a number of new models set for 2002 and secondly, despite this the Dragster still remained the most radical scooter at the show. Peugeot's 'Metal X' proved quite interesting with a number of trick add-on's available for it, I was surprised to see a lack of emphasis on the new 'Ice' at Gilera's stand though, this bike looks stunt-tastic and a must-have 'throw about' scoot in my opinion. But the highlights of the show for me were not only the laydeez... but the concept bikes that were on display - superb.
 
A full report of the show and pics to follow...

07/11/01 : Santa Pod fucked up, the date for the Santa Pod Hijack is now August 3rd 2002 and NOT August 2nd. Doh! Which means the event will now take place on a Saturday.

Also, during the 2002 season Italjet Dragster.com along with Team 100-mph Lambretta together with the NSA (National Sprinting Association) are willing to run a dedicated scooter sprinting championship.
