The E K Kanoo Drag and Drift Night, powered by Motor City, returns to Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) in Sakhir tomorrow Monday (October 20).
Following a short summer break, the widely popular double-header roars back to its position as one of the most sought-after public activities at "The Home of Motorsport in the Middle East".
E K Kanoo Drag and Drift Night calls on drag racing and drifting enthusiasts alike to take their very own cars or motorbikes and push them to their limit in a completely safe setting at BIC.
Sponsored by Ebrahim K Kanoo and powered by Motor City, scores of fans turn up at each event either to take part or watch others in action.
BIC’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip, which is a member of the prestigious National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Worldwide Network, will play host to Monday’s drag racing. For the drifting, a special course along BIC’s car park will stage the action.
Safety standards of the highest level are followed at all times during the evening’s events for both drivers and spectators.
As part of the drag racing programme, BIC will also be offering the immensely popular Dragster Xperience. This is one of the circuit’s most unique and ultimate-adrenaline activities, as it gives participants a taste of pure speed as they are taken from zero to 100kph in just one second while seated in a Top Dragster. The Dragster Xperience costs BD40 per person.
Also on Monday night, drifters will be giving their all as they take on a challenging course. Their maneuvering and car control skills will be put to the test as they attempt to swerve and powerslide across the tarmac in the least possible time.
Both of Monday’s activities can be enjoyed for a single fee of BD10. Participation in just the drag racing or just the drifting costs BD7. Registration can be done on site from 5pm, and the action will be held from 6pm to 11pm.
Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can get into a friend’s car for an additional BD4 for each event.
