Tim Blakemore Racing - Junior Dragbike rookie

Cogratulations to Rookie Junior Dragbike racer 11 year old Conor Meehan who made his track debut at Shakespeare county raceway in July. Campaining on his cousin and former Dragbike racer Tyler Clutterbuck's Honda CB125 fuel bike replica he looked as if he had been racing for years!

Conor has been coming drag racing with Tim and Wendy since he was a born and is an avid fan. He had to wait until his birthday in June until he was old enough to be able to race the 125cc machine and although he had previous experience with automatic machines he only learnt to ride the geared bike the week before. Conor under went his licensing passes without a hitch and went on to qualify well in the 10 bike field. It was very difficult to dial him in as he was going quicker and quicker with each pass so we had to try and anticipate his times! He was really geared up to go for his first race on Sunday, and , although he cut a great light he broke out against 'race veteran and sharp little cookie' Jorden Bissel in the first round by almost a whole second!

Conor and his team would like to thank all the junior drag bikers for being so welcoming, C&C medical Services for their support and sponsorship and especially to Sharon and Jerry Colier for the time and effort they have put in to this fantastic class!
