RANSOM HOLBROOK - 252. mpg in 1.5 mile---NITROUS ONLY !
« on: July 14, 2016, 08:50:15 PM »
FABULOUS NEWS !

Ransom Holbrook (H&H Racing) 252.222mph
on his nitrous Busa at the Maine Event today in the 1.5 mile.


This is the first nitrous bike, worldwide, to go over 250mph.

An absolutely TREMENDOUS achievement.



NO TURBO, just “The Bottle !”

Virtually STOCK-SHAPE plastic

This should jump Ransom up from the "mid 40's"
to about 30th place on "The List !"


Ransom has been working for this moment for
almost 15 years…….a little here, a little there,
and the bike sounded like it “had a little left !”

HE NEVER GAVE UP !


SHOW him your appreciation for a
“Best in World History” performance !

I was 1-mile out at the Timing position during this run, I'm not sure when he started spraying but OMG when the bike hit 2/3 the way down the track it was like a giant hand reached down and started pushing!  Fantastic accomplishment by a real nice guy.  Way to go Ransom!

To Scott; I am honored and humbled by your acknowledgement, thank you so much.

To All; It's totally surreal, thank you for your support and accolades.


Answering some folks questions and to add a little insight.  The 1 mile speed of 241, should have been faster.  I had moved a grounding lug recently that interfered with the nitrous controller, so my "spray" didn't work consistently until I was in 3rd at about 130 mph.  Since I spray "dry", the bike was pig rich until then.  The rest of the run was "pretty good".  In other words, the current bike setup may have a little more in it.

And again, thanks again to everyone.
