After racing in Modified Bike over the past few years, Rowan Lind will make the step up to Group 2 Competition Bike for the 2010/11 season. Lind recently returned from a drag racing exploration trip to the US where he purchased his new bike.
"I'm really pleased with the purchase of my new Hayabusa and I'm looking forward to running in ANDRA's CBI class in Competition Bike" said Lind.
The Stedman Performance built turbo Hayabusa campaigned in AMA Dragbike series in the Real Street class by Jeff Smith. Lind’s Hayabusa is fitted with a RCC TO4 turbo kit and plenty of go fast bits that will see the bike run competitive times.
“I’ve only had a few passes since the bike landed and the potential of the bike is fantastic. Once I’ve had a bit more track time and get the setup right, I’m expecting very low eight second passes.” During licensing passes, Lind piloted the bike to high eight second passes at over 165mph.
Lind went on to thank Alex Buxton and Sam Taylor from LAE Racing for their help with tuning and setup of the bike after it arrived from the USA.
