Top Fuel Bike.

After an impressive performance in the last round of the championship Neil Midgley will be hoping to continue the good form.  Steve Woollatt had clutch issue and will certainly be hoping to challenge Midgley. Al Smith cannot be counted out either.  At the time if writing Allan Davies is still repairing his motor and may not make the event.

Funny Bike.

Stuart Crane will be hoping to go even quicker at the Summer Nationals, after setting both et and speed records.  Who can stop him, well Lorcan Parnell has run 6.5secs, but had a few issues at the last meeting. Dave Peters started to find his form again.  Roger Moore will make his debut on the ex Bob Brookes bike.

Comp Bike.

Louis Davies looks unstoppable at the moment, after setting a new et record.  But Sean Mills also set a speed record and will be there to push Davies.  Jordan Kenway will be hoping to run an eight an the event.  Paul Hambridge is another who can run 7.3secs.  Chris Neary is another seven second runner.

Super Street Bike.

Super Street riders put on a fantastic show at the Festival of Power event, which saw newcomer Alan Morrison Jr almost run his first six-second pass.  Steve Venables set a new speed record and almost ran 6.7secs (first in Europe).  Stephen Mead finished runner up and is another top rider.  The Hope brothers Alex and Mark are a tough team.  Mark Dainty will be hoping for a better event and Jake Mechaell is another rider to look out for in the future.
