We feel the need, the need for speed! On Sunday 18 April we went to Elvington to take the Zips for some quarter mile testing before the next round of the BSSO series. The day went well with Pedstop riders Josh Brown and Sam Edwards getting some fast times up the drag strip. Josh's machine is now equipped with the very latest Polini Evolution 3 engine. As you can imagine we couldn't wait to find out how the new setup would perform. After a 15.34 second quarter mile run terminating at 79mph we feel even more confident now that Josh has the straight line speed he needs when he returns to the circuit next month. The results of young gun Sam's full throttle action yielded times in the 16 second bracket with a 16.04 being his best time of the day - quicker than some of the riders of 172 and 180cc machines! Well done Sam.
