2010 Season Highlights

[gotzy]

For me 2010 produced some quite amazing performances but being in the UK I'm sure I missed some stand out performances so I thought I'd start a thread for everyone to list the truely outstanding performances of the season.

For me the most amazing performance was the Cummins-Beck-Davidson-Thornsberry #911 A/BFR roadster that set a record of 301.150 mph at the World Finals, BIG RESPECT!!  It's such an insane achievement it can be hard to comprehend

Mike Cook's Shootout this year must surely be the fastest event in history (?) with 4 wheel driven streamliners over 400 mph, surely a golden era for land speed racing!

Charles Nearburg - Spirit of Rett - 422.645 mph
George Poteet - Speed Demon: 422.546 mph
Amir Rosenbaum – Spectre Streamliner -  415.791 mph
Mike Nish - Nish Motorsports - 412.515 mph

Huge respect to all the teams who worked so hard to achieve these incredible accomplishments!

Please add your stand out performances of the 2010 season with as much information as possible.

Cheers

Steve

Outstanding Motorcycle performance of the year has to ge Mark Deluca on the Forstall/Deluca/Knecum bike. 2000cc APS-G Record 252.066, fastest one way speed 254.597. First NA bike over 250. Amazing

It was on asphalt, but worthy of any year-end retrospective IMHO;

Bill Warner 278.6 mph in the standing mile at Texas.

The roadster  did it in 3 miles!!!  WTF! I saw it and still can not believe what I saw. That would be the highlight for me. Nice job guys.  Vince

Its a tough choice but how bout Spirit of Rett 422mph ?

[roadster589]

It was a great year for so many. But the one that stands out to me is Amir and the speed by Spector linner 415 mph coming o so close to knocking off two of the sports Heros ( al teauge ) and ( Tom burkland ) with a broken up caddy on gas. Not taking any thing away from all the other great runs this one is my favorite. O yea and the red necks from Chico

How'd I miss that?  By the way, I was standing at the 2 7/8th when it went by on the 304 run.  wowowowowowow. Wayno

The Cook Land Speed Shootout!!  It was an incredible thing to witness. To watch a streamliner push past 400mph is both exciting and TERRIFYING!!

For me personally, it would have to be the Ack Attack and their 394mph pass using only 3 gears!

How about Joel Young's entry into the 200 MPH Club with a Vintage Four Flathead engine based on a Model T???

V4F(/BFS)    Matrix Machine    J. Young    08/10    201.700

Although there were so many amazing runs, the Cummins-Beck-Davidson-Thornsberry #911 A/BFR roadster 301.150 mph
and V4F(/BFS) Matrix Machine J. Young 08/10 201.700, were my personnel favorites.

The coverage of Cook's Shootout was a highlight.  That was a lot of work and it was worth it.
