Brad Jackson Racing had Brad’s car on display at the NEC 14th-17th January 2016. Lucas Oil had teamed up with Santa Pod Raceway and shared a stand which worked out really well with both parties gaining lots of crossover between product and display.
It was a really positive event, the response the general public had to Brad’s car with many people saying that they knew what a Dragster was but had never seen one in “real life”, many people were really impressed with the look and quality of the dragster and they particularly liked the statistics of 0-60 mph in 0.87 of a second and 0-175 mph in 7.6 seconds.
Brad’s race suit sponsor’s HRX are from Italy, Ago Alberghino, HRX’s owner had never seen a dragster before and want us to take the car to Turin in October for a motor show, we will keep you posted on that, I’m just trying to arrange the transport logistics of the trip at the moment!
Torq racewear, HRX’s UK distributor are just working on some custom underwear and some custom gloves for Brad, HRX have a new range of gloves which can be personalised at a reasonable cost, checkout the website at http://torq-racewear.com
We are now busy preparing the car for the new season with a new wrap and team wear to be announced soon when the final design is agreed upon ! Watch this space for news.
Brad all over at reaching UK summit
Brad all over at reaching UK summit
Speedster Brad Jackson proved an unstoppable tempest to win the Hillingdon Speed and Spares Apira Springspeed National Finals drag racing event in Shakespeare country..
Jackson dominated the holiday weekend meeting at the Shakespeare County Raceway at Stratford. upon Avon to now head the national rankings in the UK Super Pro Championship. On the first day of qualifying, the cloudy, cold and windy conditions generated a low track temperature which was reflected in the lower times. Wheel spin was an issue but Jackson posted his best time of 7.84 seconds on a 7.70 dial-in to earn seventh place .
Conditions improved on the second day with the jet drier readying the circuit with Jackson’s first run of 7.79 on a 7.73 dial dropping him to ninth, But he followed that with a stunning 7.772 on a 7.77 dial, which clinched him second place to Rick Cook. His quarter-final opponent was Joe Stevens, a Super Pro event winner, but the North Yorkshire ace’s 7.78 on a 7.76 dial in beat Joe’s breakout of 8.55 on an 8.60 dial in.
Next up was Barry Giles, a former Super Pro national champion and a 15-time event winner, Jackson was again on dynamic form a reaction split of 0.04 of a second reaction good enough to put him into the final.
Three time junior dragster UK national champion Joe Kelly, in his rookie Super Pro season, stood between Jackson and victory. Jackson posted a 7.77 on a 7.76 dial with an 0.07 reaction time but it was never tested as Kellett’s car broke down for Jackson to claim a first Super Pro event win1 After also reaching the semifinals of the Festival of Power at Santa Pod in Northampton.
He now heads the UK National Super Pro Championship ratings.
