Sadly for Laverda fans, this could be the last outing for the 650 Formula in the series,as the team prepares to rollout another (faster) biofuel racer next month. Watch this space...

( 3 / 2939 )Santa Pod Raceway is set to host what appears to be a real life version of ‘Wacky Races’ when on April 25th an eclectic assemblage of alternatively fueled vehicles will hit the quarter mile strip in a bid to win the first ever Alternative Energy Drag Race.
Held to publicise the practicality of alternative energy and to demonstrate being green doesn’t mean being boring, the event has already attracted entries as varied as our own Laverda 650 MiniTwin racer, running Morrison’s finest E85 bioethanol, through the Jenkins Motorsort biodiesel racing truck, to an electric VW Beetle.
Entries are still coming in but hot favourite to sprint down the strip in record setting time is the Bike Magazine entry of a Triumph 675 Triple running alcohol made from apple juice and distilled by enterprising (and presumably tipsy!) chemistry students at Oundle’s Prince William School.
Inzane Laverda despite a power deficit however are hanging their hopes on ace rider, Russ Joyner (no pressure mate!).
Meanwhile the serious stuff starts when the team contests its first championship round of the 2008 season at Brands Hatch on 8/9th March.

( 3 / 3002 )The team's next competitive outing will be at the BMCRC end of year "Lord of Lydden" meeting on the 13th and 14th October. This will be our last race this year.
Come along to sniff some ethanol and see us do battle with the hoard of Suzuki SV650s!
