Understand Danny Burrow in the Blowfish blew (pun intended) the transmission on the first run at about 150 and spun out. They are going to make another attempt in the morning.
Correct. I was with him this morning out on the return road. Says the video footage has the sounds of big expensive tranny noise bangs at the shift point, which happens around 146 mph I guess.
Ray, we must have been shooting together today looking at your pics. Valerie changed traction control mode on her bike and it held back her run to 188 today.
I cannot tell you guys how bad-A$$ this car is. Jeff Brock (owner/driver) set a record today, and then re-entered in another class to go for another. Don't know how he did in that run yet. Note his car lettering below. He painted on his lettering and had to tape of the new class letter and used white shoe polish to make the G and F or and E to an F. Forgot which way.
2x record holder, Valerie Thompson on a bone stock S1000RR with only altered gearing, going for 200mph+. I am thinking of re-purposing my own S1000.
Repeat a bit of what Ray posted before.
Engine change, about an hour behind schedule
I always feel like I am at the world's widest beach on the flats...
A real turbo...
I lucked into this shot too....
The guy that built this car, from Utah, if you know him, know how impressive this feat is due to an impairment. He built it all himself. The only off the shelf panel is the nose cone.
