What a weekend. I was glad to witness the 5 year standing track record of 261mph fall. It was bumped up not once but twice in the same day!!!

Saturday was filled with 256-258 passes. Then on Sunday Shane blasted a 264 pass that was just incredible. The long standing record had finally switched hands. :bowdown:

Less than an hour later Wild Bill made what seemed to be another good pass but it didn't sound like much of an improvement. Everyone huddled around the cb's and the announcement came... "272.####!" Everyone at the starting line exploded in cheer. It was an incredible moment.

Congratulations to both Shane and Wild Bill for throwing it down and being such great competitors within the sport.

very nice...:bowdown:

Two turbos I saw over the weekend could not break 200 ?
I saw a normal all motor basically stock genII busa run as fast as them at 199.8.
 
:bowdown: Wonderful event to experience.

Congratulations Shane and Bill :beerchug:

Notice the front fender...I heard they had to pick up a cone or two in the curve at the shut down (that has got to be an amazing experience and very different when slowing down just the same)

Very nice runs fellas~!~

Yup on his shut down Bill didn't like the placement of the cones and decided to move them on his own. One cone was shattered and a few others were tossed into the field. Bill stayed in control and now just needs to recreate the lower fairing, replace the front fender, fix/replace the dump pipe. The oil filter also took some of the hit but luckily stayed intact.

Congrats Bill. Thats sick...272 mph on an open wheeled bike doesn't even seem possible if you look at the math. I'm only guessing at the CdA of the bodywork, but the motor must be making well over 500 HP. More impressively you need to be generating almost 700 lbs of force at the rear tire to overcome drag and accelerate to that speed. how do you do that on patchy non-prepped concrete and not spin? Amazing.
 
You shoulda' been there.. I thought you might make the event.

Bill runs a fatty :laugh: 240 rear tire but I think it's his aero's doing the job. :thumbsup:

:beerchug:That was a heck of a run by the two of them. Congrats. That Just reset the standard of fast. Im betting in Loring that the speeds are 280+ And that just made me go back to the drawing board for my build. This is a whole new level of speed. Thank for showing us the picks Ken. Was a fun weekend.
 
wow i was looking at bst's site and seen this.

thats the people that make the osd kits.

"at one point data logging a rear-wheel speed over 308 mph as the tire spun trying to harness more than 600 horsepower."
 
wheelspin sucks even when someone has a 240 and uses a tire warmer. :laugh:

Does that make it the fastest burnout? :evil2:
 
"at one point data logging a rear-wheel speed over 308 mph as the tire spun trying to harness more than 600 horsepower."

If he had enough gearing to spin the tire at that speed, can you immagine the gearing? Something like 20 / 31 or so.

Truly amazing.
 
"at one point data logging a rear-wheel speed over 308 mph as the tire spun trying to harness more than 600 horsepower."

wow just wow....... how did the tire even stand up to that kind of treatment? and what gear do you need for that?

can't wait to see what the rest of the season brings
