Australian Motorcycle Commentator ‘Dale Schmidtchen’ drives 2 hours from Pattaya to Nakhon Nayok to experience a fun day of scooter motorcycle drag racing at its Rassamee Drag Track.

Scooter motorcycling drag racing is very unique to Thailand. It’s popularity is driven by the country’s vibrant small-bike culture and the enthusiasm of riders. These events thankfully provide a platform for riders to showcase their skills and the performance of their modified bikes. It also helps to alleviate illegal night racing on public roads!

Participants often heavily modify their scooters and motorcycles to enhance performance. Modifications can include changes to the engine, exhaust system, suspension, and other components to optimize the bike for drag racing. Many look like jewels!

Dale appreciates the more relaxed, respectable and simple approach to motor sports in Thailand, the way it used to be in Australia and the West in the good old days.
