I am trying to get the onboard video cut down/edited so we can post it.  Will be a week or so. (Mailing it to Scott Horner @ Heads Up Performance)

The 3rd paragraph should read:
Warner, a mild-mannered tropical fish farmer and marine biologist during the workweek, turns into a mad scientist on race weekends. He went progressively faster during the three-day festival of speed, posting a 255.1 mph run on Friday, 270.7 mph on Saturday--beating the old motorcycle record of 261.5 mph, set in March 2010 by Tom Gates,-- and 278.6 mph on Sunday. Very modestly, he said, "I gradually made changes to the bike's existing setup to maximize the acceleration in each gear, trying to utilize all of the available horsepower."

Sorry they left that out of the press release.
