Off to Woodbridge this weekend. We're running the mile-course and the longer course at the same time. I'll post-up the speeds when I can.

I did hear that the Flying Dutchman is gonna be there having his first crack at the mile!!

If it doesn't go bang on Studley's dyno then yeah I'll be there!

Oz Booster · « **Reply #3 on:** May 06, 2009, 05:40:08 AM »

Sorry, I forget to ask:

What is the "longer course" ?

Pete · « **Reply #6 on:** May 06, 2009, 11:26:40 AM »

Not sure on the length nowadays - it's about 1.25 mile sI think. I'll have to meausre it I guess.

Mike-Nightrider · « **Reply #7 on:** May 06, 2009, 12:59:44 PM »

We will see it there Pete.
The main thing is that the weather is fine then.

How long are the timing traps and are records one-way

or two ? Good Luck to all. LSL

Pete · « **Reply #10 on:** May 06, 2009, 04:06:12 PM »

Hey Larry.

I think the traps are 80 feet ut not sure. This isn't a record event, that's lter this year in September.

I think Geri can post the results after the weekend. Hes the boss there

We will start our journey tomorrow:

Germany (Dortmund) - Netherlands - Belgium - France (Calais) -
Ferry over the North see - England Woodbridge

Mike

Pete · « **Reply #18 on:** May 07, 2009, 06:19:11 PM »

I'll try to get some results up when I can. Forecast is currently 12mph 90% tailwind for Saturday so that's the day to be there! Cheers for the support guys

TRNorBRN6001 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 08, 2009, 08:48:13 AM »

Good luck, you all have fun, stay safe and run some numbers.

Gary

Pete · « **Reply #20 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:50:54 PM »

Mike has ran 208.4mph but I don't know over what distance but well-done that man!!. He's running again tomorrow I'm sure

Fair weather today with a sidewind. Tomorrow is supposed to be better. I'm not running this weekend - problems with my bike mis-firing on the dyno. I'd like to thank Studley for his sterling help and loan of swap-out parts in trying to diagnose it though

More unconfirmed speeds:
Jack Frost ~ 232mph
FLying Dutchman ~ 224.9mph
Ian Shand on a K8 stock-motor 'busa 204mph

Several others over the 200 I'll be spectating tomorrow and helping out with tech so I'll put the numbers up post-up the final results when I get home.

SPEED KING · « **Reply #21 on:** May 09, 2009, 04:57:53 PM »

Pete,

Thanks for the updates and sorry to hear that your bike is not running correctly...

Next time ! !

And congrats to the other racers!

John

Pete · « **Reply #22 on:** May 09, 2009, 05:16:56 PM »

Hey no worries I tried my best worked on it for 4 days flat now and I'm totally bushed. I could run it how it is with just 250HP and keep it down to 9k rpm but I'm not gonna risk trashing my motor when I can't identfiy the problem. It'll work out.

Pete · « **Reply #23 on:** May 10, 2009, 05:01:20 PM »

Nice to meet Mike-Nightrider at woodbridge today. Mike's had a great weekend getting himself well on the over-200 list with 211.0mph Well-done Michael

Neil Holmes improved on his previous best mile with a 207.1mph. Good going for a 19-stone guy on a stock-motored turbo. Flying Dutchman couldn't catch Jack Frost who went the fastest of the weekend with 235.6mph. These riders need adding to the over-200 list;

Frank Gillebaard Hayabusa Turbo     232.1 (Flying Dutchman)
Michael Merse Hayabusa Turbo 211.0 (Mike Nightrider)
Clive Seddon Hayabusa Turbo 207.4
Neil Holmes     Hayabusa Turbo 207.1
Lloyd Davies Hayabusa 1600cc 205.1
Mark Brown Hayabusa Turbo 204.3
Lee Clarke Hayabusa Turbo 203.5
