Pat just ran a phenomenal 247.66 mph on his turbo Hayabusa :cheers:


Pat is not only a great racer he is awesome guy and I am so happy for him and his wife!

Congrats Pat for setting the record and also the top speed for a bike for the year, I think he is also the second fastest vehicle to date for this El Mirage racing season with the 911 roadster running 250+ mph.


Way to go WOMACK!!

Dang, that's great, Pat.  Nancy and I met him and his wife at Bonneville a couple of years ago and got to know him in meets after that.  Nice guy, fun to watch wrenching and talking and mostly smiling.  It couldn't be better -- his turn was definitely due.  Congratulations.

I so enjoyed seeing Pat run this pass. He is a wonderful person and a great fellow racer. He and his crew gave me a lot of great tips at b'ville in 2010, and also some really helpful advice on blown class.

Congrats Team Womack!   :cheers:
