Grand Bend gears up

From Go Fast Media Solutions

TORONTO, ON -- Grand Bend Motorplex will play host to the 3rd annual Hindle Canadian Fastest Streetbike Shootout this Sunday as part of the Hully Gully Summer Sizzler All-Bike Drags.

The Streetbike Shootout sees the fastest street legal motorcycles from Canada and the U.S. battle it out on the quarter-mile for the guaranteed $1000 winner's prize. Nitrous-fed and turbocharged machines will square off head-to-head to see who will go home with this year's title.

Last year, Michigan racer Shane Ratliff took the trophy Stateside aboard a turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa, running a best of 8.12 at over 182 MPH. The Canadian contingent is hungry to take back the bragging rights however, led by Richard Peppler's 184 MPH turbo 'Busa. The event may also see the first seven-second pass on Canadian soil as racers look to eclipse Robert Suprenant's 8.03-second Canadian record.

The event will also feature the RCC Turbos Horsepower Challenge, open to all racers and spectators on Sunday. The Hully Gully Summer Sizzler will feature several classes - Kevin Blackmore Memorial Quick 16, Superbike ET, Streetfighter ET, Harley ET, Trophy and Pit Bike.
