Circuit de Clastres France 6 June 2016: The day started at 3 AM in the morning in The Netherlands with a 6 hours drive to circuit de Clastres in France.  The 2nd European drag event was held during the weekend of 5 to 7 jun. 16.  This event was organized by Association Thropee Dragster (ATD), which has been organizing drag event for the past 7 years. This year ATD has joined two Dutch organisation ‘Quatermile and ESLA’in order to change to world of drag racing in Europe and promote this wonderful sport.

During this drag event several categories were held from street legal D.SL till Super Pro ET. Unfortunately it started to rain , which put everything on hold, but the organisation worked very hard to dry the track as soon as the rain stopped. M17A8650

And if the track couldn’t get dry soon enough, what else could you do? Make a pass with a Jet Car, and that exactly what they did.

And this kid was the luckiest kid on the track to be the passenger in this amazing car by Team Toxic.

We saw also a lot of bike who showed up during this event. We spotted the ‘Curacao kid’ Randulf on this BMW, making a great pass.

To recap the story it was worth it staying nearly 24 hours awake to drive back and forward on the same day to witness this event.
