The big August event Elvington UK.
« on: August 06, 2015, 06:50:59 PM »
This month August will see the World Wheelie and Top Speed Event at Elvington near York on Saturday 15th August and Sunday 16th.
The wheelie record could go over 200 mph for the first time ever and the top speed track record of Becci Ellis the worlds fastest lady on two wheels could see speeds over 265 mph in a standing start mile mile.
Lots of other interesting machinery to see including the worlds fastest Turbine Streetfighter and a V10 Dodge motor in a two wheeler.
We have competitors from many countries for both wheelies and top speed all we need now is some good weather  :mrgreen:
Pay on the gate each day or camping available by arrangement with Straightliners.

I hope you all have a safe and successfull weekend at Elvington.
Last time I went there was with with two Busa riders BK and Billywhizz.
That was when Busa-to-the-Max was THE Hayabusa site.
Long time ago. 
Billywhizz is still around but riding a zzr14 now.
I have no more sh*ts to give.

Becci could get the #3 spot on the list this weekend with a clean pass. Even the #2 spot could be at risk if they have stepped up their performance. But 5 MPH is a significant gain at those speeds. Can't wait.  :ppcrn:   :thumb:  :thumb:  :thumb:

Looks like we will get some rain later today followed by more rain tomorrow so the track will get a good wash but Saturday should dawn dry with a 20mph tailwind forecast to drop into single figures in the afternoon and drop further on Sunday.
I'll settle for that  :thumb:

Raining today and probably into the night but giving dry conditions for the weekend with a 10mph tailwind gusting to 18mph for Saturday.
The Sunday forecast is giving 6 to 9 mph tailwinds and dry.
Bring it on. :bike:

From the facebook chatter that I'm seeing, it looks like Becci might have crashed today. :td:

Hope all is well and you are up and moving again soon.
