Jamie Newbold - Lil Loon

 

2009 was my first season sprinting my
Italjet Dragster using my Dads old frame
in the 100mphscooter.com 'Junior Class',
and I WON the Championship recording a
Personal Best 1/4 mile Elapse Time (ET) of
16.4 seconds and a personal best Top Speed
of 76mph.

 

In 2010 I moved up and entered the
'Competition Class' where the competition
was greater, and to be competitive in this
class I had to improve my ET and Top Speed.

 

The 2010 season is now over and done with,
and the goal I set myself was achieved.

 

With my new 'MJB Tuning' engine in the frame, and with steady progress throughout the season, I managed to record a NEW Personal Best of 86mph in 14.2 seconds. Thats a whole 2.4 seconds and 10 mph improvement on the 2009 season.

 

And more importantly, I WON the 100mphscooter.com 2010 Competition Scooter Championship

 

I couldn't have done it without my sponsors, in particular Lewis Ashforth at Italjet UK Spares and Mitchell Betts at MJB Tuning (Mitchell is only 15 years old)

 

In 2011 I will again be competing in the 100mphscooter.com Competition Class and I hope to record even better speeds and times.

 

Be sure to come back and follow my 2011 season

 

Cheers, Jaa

At the end of 2008, my Dad decided to have a new frame built for 'His' sprinter and I jumped at the chance to ride his old frame rather than the Honda. I had wanted to sprint a Scooter all along, but bought the Honda to conform to Junior Drag Bike rules.

 

These pictures are a selection from previous sprint meeting during the 2009 100mphscooter.com - Straightliners 1/4 mile sprint season.

On 19/06/11 at Elvington I tried our new helmet cam and recorded a personal best 1/4 mile pass in 13.33 seconds at 91mph. The video below shows the run

My Dad allowed me a demo run his 'Top Scooter'. I managed 94mph in 13.6 seconds, which almost equalled Dads best speed and time of the day of 94mph and 13.4 seconds. Watch out Dad, I coming to get you

Max Speed Festival - Germany

 

September 26th 2009 I should have gone to Germany to sprint at the Max Speed Festival hosted by Scooter Center Kolne which is a special 500 meter sprint event to find Europe's Fastest Scooter.

 

However, at 23:15 just as we were leaving, my Dad checked his passport and realised it
had run out and we were unable to attend this meeting.

 

Oh well, there'll be another one.
