# 53 I do not recall Connie running that bike however if you are sure...I seem to remember they filled out the forms wrong and they were listed as riding each others bikes..could be wrong however... :-D

No I'm not sure. My only source is the run log listed on the web site. I assume if the paperwork is wrong then it will be listed wrong in the results just like it would at the ECTA. I would like to know for sure so if anyone knows I'd like to know. That is the range Nick usually runs on the turbo bike so it easily could have been him & not her.

#53

Thanks # 53   

 :lol: I didn't get the #53 until I saw the stick poke, you guys are funny  :cheers: .

Susan's new boy friend won't let her race anymore, he keeps her on a leash.

You forgot Susan Robertson. 205.965 record in 2006 (nitrous busa) with a top speed of 209.494 (to my knowledge) at Bonneville.

Connie I have down as running 217.362 at El Mirage May 08 on Nick's turbo bike. (I think that's her top speed but not positive) With a record of 210.109 on her nitrous busa at Bonneville. She tried running naked but was having trouble with the shoulder injury from going down a few years ago.

M; Marcia Holley is 229.361

Debbie

Deb,
I've been in more then 1 magazine{16 or 17 at last count 8-)},but you never knew :??

 OK flame away,but comming from someone who gets everything for Free{Money,and Parts while having his 1st child} might Not be a Good Person to start throwing STONES?Me Scott{does my wrenching} I've had to learn Everything on my own{Poverty does that to you} trying to do whats never been done before{200+mph Faired and Unfaired on a Real HD V-rod Motorcycle.

Kaz,

          Please don't try and make everyone feel sorry for you with the poverty stricken bullsh%t............I have seen your house, back yard, car, truck and bike. Your house is nicer than 90% of the people on this board so please spare us, you are hardly close to poverty.........

And yep I had some people from another board donate me money to race, sounds like your jealous about that as well, but remember they gave it to me because they saw something that made them want to help, not someone bitching and whining he didn't get a free ride. Hey, didn't Noonan let you ride the sidecar this year? Weren't you driving someone elses vehicle at Bonneville this year??

You should apologize to all of the women of LSR for your comments.

Scott

Kaz,
 You've been in 16 or 17 magazines. You're bitching on a thread about Girls land speed racing, that they are getting the attention and you are not. Now I don't know for sure, but from what I've seen so far, out of all of the women racing bikes in LSR, heck, probably even all the women racing LSR period, regardless of speed, I'm pretty sure there haven't been 16 or 17 articles done on women in the sport let alone 16 or 17 magazines. Exactly how do you feel slighted? Clearly you've received more coverage for yourself alone. How about Marcia Holley? She got in the 200 MPH club 30 years ago and was shunned for doing it. They went out of their way to try to keep her out of the club. News bulletin, she's been faster then you, where's her magazine article? Then you have the audacity to bitch in a thread about women that you're being slighted. You SO don't want to get me started on equal treatment because unlike the young women now getting involved in the sport, Marcia and myself have lived with the chauvinism. We've lived a lifetime of men saying women don't belong in the sport, women shouldn't drive fast cars and on & on. Now finally we come to a place and time where true equality can be achieved and here you sit bitching that you're not getting your credit due. Get over yourself. Warner Riley ran 212 on an ironhead sportster (old technology) 30 years ago. You've gone just a little faster with new technology. Do something outstanding and maybe you'll get another article but whatever, quit bitching that someone else that worked hard got a tiny piece of recognition. This is an amateur sport, we do it for the love of racing. There's no purse, there's no publicity. Maybe you should be racing elsewhere if you have this unending need for public recognition. But what ever you choose, please stop bitching when someone else is celebrated.

Scott G,
I have Susan hitting #2 in 2006. I have some other notes to consult but at the moment that's what I have.

As for Marcia, two things I'm wondering, what was her open wheeled bike speed and what was her actual top speed for the streamlined bike. Her record is 229.361 which is an average so I'm wondering if we know what her actual top speed was.

Back to Connie I think it's likely that there was a paperwork snafu as #45 mentioned and that the 217 was actually Nick's run. With that in mind I'm going to roll her back in my notes to a top speed of 211.284 and top record of 210.109 until I hear differently.

So, at least for open wheel bikes,
the order for the fastest woman
motorcycle rider looks like:


1)....Marcia Holley...........1978
2)....Susan Robertson...   ?
3)....Trillium Muir.............2007
4)....Debbie Dross...........2007
5)....Lesslie Porterfield.....2008
6)....Trillium Muir.............2008

Any corrections?

I don't understand what you are listing here Scott.  Why is Trillium's name twice?

Bill

Bill AKA faster than me naked :cheers:

Scott is giving the time-line of the fastest women and how Trilly came back from being the fastest at 204+ to again reclaim the fastest female title with superb runs of 239+ in 2008.. :cheers:

Thant is how I read it however in 2007 Marcia was still faster..

I got it John.  I think Scotts using Marcia's on bike speed.  He'll also have to put Trilly's name up again, since Deb only had it for 3 hrs 45 mins.

Okay boys, I know there's a lot of words in there but the list is "open wheel"  :-D and yes, it's the timeline of the title "Fastest Woman on an open-wheel bike"

And actually I'm thinking it should be:
1)....Marcia Holley...........1978
2)....Susan Robertson......2006
3)....Trillium Muir.............2007
4)....Debbie Dross...........2007
5)....Trillium Muir.............2007
6)....Lesslie Porterfield.....2008
7)....Trillium Muir.............2008
