Mike, that is insane, but I know you would try it out as well. Our customers are trying to break their own record with their 1800 hp Ford GT right now. They are there going for 275 !! Here is the video. FireCore all the way !!

That is pretty unbelievable. Especially the naked pass. It reminds me of an old guy that set a LSR with a NA, converted to OHV, 1920s flathead around 900cc and topped 200mph nearly 40 years ago. Oh, and made all the parts himself!!! Burt Munro
The picture is from 1962.

You are absolutely correct! It was at Bonneville so it could have been 6 miles or ????

It just amazes me what he accomplished without aftermarket parts.

Lets also remember that Burt did that with hand crafted parts, not some sophisticated works bike built on a CNC machine with modern parts. The man was a real innovator.
