fReQracing
is a unique drag race team, currently campaigning a Mopar powered
Slingshot Dragster in the UK Nostalgia Classes. They call it Living
the Dream!
unusually,
in this little world of big egos, fReQracing doesn't 'belong' to any
one person. It is an extraordinary collaboration.
Most teams
allocate different tasks to various team members, but The Racer is
The Racer (sometimes 2 people share the drive - husband & wife,
father & son)...
the fReQs on the other hand regularly have 4 different drivers through
a season, working together (and quietly competing amongst themselves)
towards the success of the Team.
Even more remarkable is the fact that the vast majority
of team members are 'young people' most of whom would never have had
the opportunity to take part in any kind of motorsport, much less
drive one of the fastest vehicles in the country!
in 2008 fReQracing began its relationship with the
MS Trust, which continues to grow and develop, MS Trust t-shirts are
the 'official' team uniform and information & support are always
available in the team Pit Area... Raising Awareness.
the
site, like the race team, continues to evolve, find out more by cruising
around here, get in touch with us or just come racing!!
for anyone new to us we've decided to include some definitions of
fReQ here at the start to give you some idea,
if that doesn't work maybe a recent quote from the commentators at
Shakespeare County Raceway will help
"these fReq-racing guys... its not so much a race team, more
a way of life!"
