Last weekend was the last of the two day events for this year and I could not go for several reasons but here is a brief rundown.
The wheelie guys had an exceptional meeting with both Gary Rothwell (209.822mph) and Egbert Van Popta (205.421) both exceeding 200mph on turbo busas on one wheel over a kilometre with the exit speed being recorded in the same way as our mile.Gary also ran 216.192 mph on two wheels in the mile and Egg 206.447 mph.
As far as the normal crop of turbo top speed bikes went only Mike Grainger (249.910) improved on his personal best mile speeds with Jack Frost and Les Marsh All just short of the 250 mph mark.
Mike Grainger was allowed one run on his H2r as it was a little noisy for the venue rules and managed 209.580 mph and Terry Smith on a big motor busa 206.283 mph.
Not sure about the conditions as I was not present but as it was an ACU records meeting they ran both directions and one way was slower than the other which probably indicates a slight tail wind becoming a slight headwind.
The only other item of note was Becci Ellis did two runs on a borrowed stock busa and managed 175mph
One meeting left on Tuesday 20th October weather permitting.
