Recently one of our sponsors created some great new tops for us, and a few days ago some friends stopped around and tried them on for us.
Micky and Aly shown here kindly took time out to model them for us, to show the new designs and fashions for the lady's tops. We hope these images might be of some help to all of you out there curious as to what the new tops look like.
16/01/2010: Jack's Thank you Picture

We thought we would share this picture with you all, and say how happy we were to receive it from Jack, and to say a big thankyou to Jack from us.
16/01/2010: Polharris Top Gas Drag Bike Update
Polharris is back home after being at HQ Fibre products to have its bodywork made.
All bodywork is being made of carbon fibre.
Starting at the sharp end, streamliner front mudguard, to help send air into the air-box.
TLR nose fairing leading to a big custom air box, one piece body work, rear wheel tub and under tray.
It looks like a pro stocker, I am so pleased with how its coming together, but there is still a load to do (and pay for).
A big thank you to Mike and Sylvia, whose work is second to none, plus they are a lovely couple and a pleasure to know.
So What's next?
Fit a rad, make and fit a fuel tank/pump, get it wired and fired up (cant wait to hear it running), lots of brackets etc.
You will be able to see this bike on the 27th of February 2010 at the boundary Public House at my big party. It's well worth a look as it is the only one in the world we are aware of!
After the party, its going back to GLS in Yorkshire.
I have taken some photos along the way, and hope you enjoy.
Regards, Les Harris

23/12/2009: A fan came visiting
I had a young chap called William call to see me on Saturday, with his Mum and Dad, which was very nice.
He's a big fan of my Drag Racing Team.
I gave him a Calendar and some signed photos, plus a visor sticker, which his parent's had asked for last week through my website.
William had a good look at Tilly 3, which we even have a photo of.
He had a nice time, and is coming to Santa Pod next year to watch us race, so a good time was had by one and all.
16/12/2009: 2009 Christmas Message
Les and Lyn Harris have decided to 'opt out' from the tradition of giving Christmas Cards this year. Instead we have given £25 to the Salvation Army, to help those more in need especially with the cold weather forecast.
We would like to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
11/12/2009: Party on 27th of February 2010 with Two Bands!
On the 27th of February in the coming year, 2010, there will be a big party at the Boundary Public House, in Norwich.
The party is a multi-event party for the Les Harris Drag Racing Team, celebrating the past years achievements, the release of The Polharris, and also celebrating Les' birthday all in one night.
Both Tilly 3 and the Polharris will take some stage time away from the Two Bands we will be having that evening: Hotwired leading into Storm
This will be the first time the Polharris will have been shown in public, so come drool, stroke it or do whatever gets you happy when you see her. :)
It's going to be a big party, so please one and all, come along and have a fun night.

20/11/2009: Children in Need - Update Number 1
Great news so far! In one night so many people have already volunteered their support that I've managed to already get £106.15 in support for Children in Need.
I don't know about others, but I think that's a great show of the local community spirit, and even in these hard times people were happy to give even just a quid towards the cause.
I just wanted to say a big thank you to both the Frettenham Rose and Crown with their Thursday night Darts and Pool teams, as well as the Buxton Black Lion and the supporters of all teams at each pub.
19/11/2009: Go Spotty for Children in Need 2009!
It's that time of year fast approaching, time to help support the charity Children in Need.
As you will be able to tell from the pictures attached to this post, one of our Team has quite litterally Gone Spotty this year for the cause.
If you live in and around North Norfolk, Scott will be accepting donations/sponsorship in aide of the cause.
All he asks is If it gives you a grin, consider giving somethin' to Children in Need Donations :).
Scott also wanted to say a big big thank you to Emma for all the hard work she put into making such a fine piece of artwork, and for taking up a whole night of Emma & Ray's, it is much appreciated, and hopefully will result in a nice contribution to Children in Need.

03/11/2009: NAST 2009 Season AGM

27/10/2009: More Press Coverage
Well, this has been a bit of a late heads-up, but we are again in the papers.
Thursday 22nd of October's edition of the Eatern Daily Press (EDP) includes an article about us on Page 46, in the bottom part titled: Harris steps on the gas to clinch Supertwin crown.
Not only that, but then on Friday 23rd of October we have another write-up in the Norwich Evening News on the bottom of Page 67 titled: New champion Les targets world record.
27/10/2009: End of NAST 2009 Season
NAST continues to surprise me year apon year. In some race classes things can be a little predictable
regarding the end of season results, and yet again this is the area NAST continues to show that these things aren't always the case, and refreshingly so in my opinion!
Not only was it an excellent race season, with constant surprises and personal achievements by so many, it has been a fun and entertaining year!
This year in particular has had one thing come fast to the front of my mind:
The Club. The club this year has grown so much, and not only in numbers!
The members have bonded so well together that they made it not only a
challenging and exciting race season for each other, but had a lot of fun in the
process. This is something that hasn't gone un-noticed, as we've had
feedback from so many people, some spectators, others officials at tracks.
To coin a phrase from The A-Team: I love it when a plan comes together!
I don't think you can put too fine a point on it, but it's this kind of community
spirit that not only helps a club develop, but also remain active and enjoyable
to be a part of, and so much much more that is harder to really put into words.
I just hope others feel, as I have, that this year has been really great.
We shall celebrate this fact at the AGM, in glorious and legendary style, that
should be memorable for many years to come, or fall drunkly by the wayside
trying! hehe

12/10/2009: 2009 Season Top-Gas Finals Update
What a top weekend! Tilly ran so well, after the mods we made last Sunday, that it was a joy to ride.
In the semi-finals I was up against Dave Jones, the winner of which would be the new NAST Top-Gas champion!
So with no pressure at all (smirk) it was a full on drag race. I beat Dave by 0.3557, and I ran a 9.84s at 131 mph! Dave ran a 10.21 at 112 mph.
My first Top Gas no 1 plate, and my third championship title to date.
As you can guess we are all over the moon, come on the party!
Myself and the Team would like to thank all my sponsers, who have helped to make this possible.
Thank you all to all the NAST members, without which we wouldn't have had a racing season, nor as enjoyable a season as this year was!
