- Drew Eldridge #7Bio: Drew, starting his racing career with 125cc dirt bikes, has been longing to follow in his father’s footsteps in an open wheel race car for many years. Finally, struck with the opportunity in 2009, Drew cashed in, sold all his dirt bike equipment, and made the jump to a 500cc mini sprint. As the season progressed, Drew faced many challenges between car setup and engine difficulties. He spent the second half of the season testing a 400ex motor as a possible replacment for GSMSRC’s 500cc class. In 2010, Drew has made the move to sell his 500cc car and has moved on to the 600cc division.
