Ebrahim K Kanoo, the exclusive distributor of Toyota and Lexus vehicles in Bahrain, is inviting drag racers and drifters  to push their cars and motorbikes to the limit within the safe and controlled environment of the Bahrain International Circuit.

The popular E K Kanoo Drag & Drift Nights, which returned this month, are expected to attract hundreds of enthusiasts.

BIC’s world-class quarter-mile drag strip, which is a member of the prestigious National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) Worldwide Network, will play host to the drag racing, while the drifting events will be held on a special course along BIC’s car park.

“This is an opportunity for drag and drift enthusiasts to pump-up their adrenalin levels and challenge their friends on a world class track, and within and ideal environment for such activities,” said Ayman Shehadeh, senior manager of Toyota and Lexus marketing at E K Kanoo.

“Toyota has always placed great emphasis on safety and reliability. Attendees will get the chance to inspect the latest Toyota models, which will be on display, and learn about the unique safety and durability features that make them ideal for events like these,” Shehadeh said.

As with previous Drag & Drift Nights, safety standards of the highest level will be followed at all times during the evenings’ events for both drivers and spectators alike, Shehadeh added.

Activities can be enjoyed for a single fee of BD10. Participation in only the drag racing or the drifting costs BD7.
Registration can be done on site from 5pm, and the action will start from 6pm and go on until 11pm. Those who would like to experience the drag or drift as a passenger can ride shotgun in a friend’s car for an additional BD4 for each event. Spectators can purchase tickets for BD2 each. - TradeArabia News Service
