An action-packed season finale is on the cards in the 2019/2020 Bahrain Drag Racing Championship.
The meeting gets underway Tuesday (February 25) at Bahrain International Circuit in Sakhir. The series’ fifth and final round will be the culmination of yet another ultra-competitive campaign, and it will help determine the newest group of champions who will each be taking home not only their first place trophies, but also a coveted Wally from the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA).
The first two days of the meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday (February 26) will see participants hard at work testing and tuning their respective challengers, both cars and motorbikes.
Around 140 competitors were entered in the 16 competition categories in the previous round, and even more are expected this time. Being the region’s biggest and most competitive drag racing championship, it attracts top drag racers from all over the world, including many legends of the sport.
Following the Test and Tune, Qualifying will then be held on Thursday (Editor’s note: February 27) and then the season-ending eliminations will take place on Race Day Friday (Editor’s note: February 28).
