We're locked down and Rocky is getting into the bike.  Wind is great -- ready to run.  Engines running.

Bike is running, bike is moving.  

YEE-hah, he got it a little sideways and tipped right and got it back and is going okay now.  Not winding the engines too high, it sounds.

Entry speed 360.3    kilo  366.6  mile 366.7  exit 373.8

Does he have to go 1% over to qualify or is it 1% over for two combined runs?

My math tells me he has to average 371.xxx for a record, is this correct?

The 1% rule doesn't apply to the bikes.  368+ will do it.

I think I'm right. Hope so.

Chris Carr set a new FIM world record and AMA national record at 367.382mph


Quoted from Google

He needs 368.746 plu the fraction after using .7 as the decimal on his initial run.    368.85 will do it

Chris' exit speed was 372.534 mph

Record is 367.382 so Ack needs a 368.2 for an average of 367.4 for the record.
