Becci (anglepaws) Ellis has taken advantage of todays excellent dry and still conditions to run 243.5 mph in the mile followed by another personal best of 247.4 mph

There is an hour left so she could go faster.

So glad to see that racing continues at Elvington,
and that today, all were safe.

250 mph for a woman on a bike is one
of the last "major" accomplishments
to be had, and it like Becci is in front.

Congrats to her and her team !

Congrats to Becci and teammates. That is quite an accomplishment.

What's the track record at Elvington?

Ken 12r · « **Reply #16 on:** June 20, 2014, 02:47:32 PM »

Mile record now held by Becci as above,longer course 1.4/1.5 miles 265 mph Frank Gillebaard.Overall fastest was a jet car a just over 300 mph cant remember exact speed but can get it if you are interested.

zrxdean · « **Reply #17 on:** June 20, 2014, 03:01:39 PM »

No need for car record, thanks, but If Becci Ellis holds the bike track record, that can be listed in the 1 mile list. I think she is the first woman to hold a track record

Congrats Becci

We had another testing day at Elvington today and again Becci was fastest at 248.5 mph into a slight headwind to equal her record.
Her team tried out a few new things which did not seem to make any improvements but given the conditions it was a good result

Mike-Nightrider · « **Reply #21 on:** July 23, 2014, 12:41:44 AM »

Great back-up

Wolf1397 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 23, 2014, 12:50:59 AM »

So close. Next time...

Great speed and consistency

Was there an open event, or was this a private test session?

Ken 12r · « **Reply #24 on:** July 23, 2014, 08:46:04 AM »

No it was a normal Top Speed Tuesday open to anybody and about 20 riders took part split between top speed and Wheelie riders testing for next months main event.
The day is good for trying different things because you can do almost back to back runs to check alterations without having to queue.
I left early to pick up a bike so not sure of any other results yet but as far as i know there were no improvements to any of the riders best speeds.
Mine is still in bits but should return for the August event.
