My name is Doug Casson, the pro dragster pilot in the Bad Habitz Racing Team, and 58 years old this year. I've been riding motorcycles since I was 13
years old, everything from dabbling in motocross and cross country racing to my most recent endeavor, Nitro Harley Drag racing.
I have always prided myself in my skills as a rider. If there is anything I do well, it was ride the hell out of a motorcycle. I guess nitro drag racing was a way of
capitalizing on those skills as well as to meet yet another challenge head on.
I began drag racing late in life, at the age of 43 after 2 years of building this motorcycle, made my first pass down the race track and never looked back. My
only regret is not getting involved in motorcycle drag racing much sooner.
Procrastination is nothing new to me though, I didn't get into the trades till I was 36 years old either. That's something else I should have done much sooner in
life…who knew?... I mean really, there was parties to crash and whisky to drink right!! I'm now a Licensed Instrument Tech for Agrium, for whom I've been
employed with since 1978. In 1997 I opened my own small Business in motorcycle parts and service. I enjoy the challenges my instrument trade but
apparently the motorcycles is still where my heart is.
I also have my wife, Darlene and my daughter Charmian to thank for all their patience over the years in both life's little obstacles and the ups and downs in our
world of motorcycles and motorcycle drag racing.
