any female riders go 200mph?

[HighOnBusa]

. Yes there are accidents, Yes people can get seriously hurt. But same goes for Bonneville and Maxton. It is very safe when the experienced riders are out there. Juice,Barry,Lofty,Sal,Denny,Carlito,Etc. You shouldn't knock it until you try it. There are risks in any type of racing. When you push the envelope to the max, Accidents happen sometimes.
I have ran 9/10's several times. The adrenalin rush was awesome and I never ran over 200mph. These guys are hitting 200mph in 6/10'sor better. It does take skill and bike preparation. I live in Palm beach now and don't get to witness this awesome display of speed that often anymore. Someone should post some video. It is way cool. I have never been to Maxton or Bonneville, But would love to check it out sometime. You guys at 9/10's are still my speed hero's, Keep racing and stay safe.

Bergie your an idiot. Why do you think I stated "Indicated"?

Do you actually think I believe the speedo?

Go back to ZX12R board and quit your Busa envy!!!!

I was talking to Noonan a few days ago and let him know that our program cant run this year. Too many family conflicts. So, here is hoping somone can do it... but if they dont, it will be us next year. The bike is roughly 80% complete and I have two riders lined up. And yes john, I will call you back for that "list."

Hopefully we can make a Maxton event with a local girl.    She's the perfect size to pilot the bike.  She already runs away from bigger bore bikes on a stock motored/piped 12.

I hope this woman comes to Maxton, Goliad, Bonneville, El Mirage, Muroc, etc and sets a record over 200 MPH.  No woman has yet done that on an OPEN-WHEEL motorcycle, and the world is waiting.

I would love to be the one to "hand her the hat!"

Problem there Scott, Muroc probably will not ever happen again,

You mean she runs away from bigger bore 12R's...

Amazing what a difference it makes.    

[TurboBlew]

She'll run away from Busas even faster....lol

thanks. I will clarify.

Any woman run 200mph in a sanctioned verifiable event?

to me, 9/10's racing is about as accurate as the tape measure Jr Tuttle uses to measure with before he cuts for production. precision at its worst.

I assume you came down and measured the 9/10's??
No it is not a sanctiond event but it is 9/10's of a mile,measured out.

9/10's Fun yes nice to run Yes Safer No way in hell.  I have been there racing on a busy Sunday when a few locals crossed the road in a pickup .5 seconds before two 200mph bikes flashed past.  Lets not fool ourselves in thinking that it is safe, to many places for entry and exits.  Most of the time it has been OK but not safer when I have been there.

Hey, dont get me wrong... Im not criticizing any of the LSR santioning bodies or the way they run an event.  
I can give you a brief synapsis of why I think 9/10ths is safer:
-Level asphalt
-lots of visibility
-9ft wide lanes
-plenty of runoff/shutdown area (not requiring brakes)
-sea level
 
Now granted.... you couldnt hold a sanctioned event without an act of Florida congress.... but logically one would think "hey, these are ideal condtions for achieving top speed".
Ive never run Bonneville or El Mirage, so I probably look like a bumbling idiot to those that have, but I plan to in the near future, if not for records...just the experience.
Feel free to debate my points.... other than the obvious traffic and public safety issues.

Not to mrntion Maxton is to forget the LSR track that does the best job for the entrant with respect to timing methods, information, and results .
If you say 9/10 is safer, then I don't expect you to be leading a legitimate event anytime soon.
I choose to  run LSR events with a single vehicle on the track so as to give them undivided attention. Space is not a consideration.  Perhaps you forgot the 2 track system was 1st used by the bikes and later at SCTA Speedweek.  In addition the AMA/FIM bikes outside of SCTA are not required to make a throw away run over the record just to be allowed to do 2 more for the class. That practice has been replaced by the long impound only within SCTA.
You are probably like most and know more than you say, but how you say it is the reflection that will produce the measured results.
A guy speant too much time on the subject of how fast he went on the streets and the potential sponsers treated him like a "RED HEADED STEP CHILD". Most all have done it , but he paid the price for making it 1st and formost in conversation. Now he drives a car.

Rickster just got back from Bonneville after riding my bike to an official  196 mph on the short course after a 159 1/4 mile speed. She was showing 205 on the GPS as an exit speed. She was definately accelerating!!!

To get her into the 2 club would require breaking a record at over 245 mph!!!    (at least in the class we were running in)

[JorNic Motorsports]

yeah, the rule changes I think only apply to bikes for "official entry" into the 200 club. Complete bullshit. just because the car guys cant make the power and run the numbers from the showroom and build on it as easily as we are, doesnt mean we should be penalized for it. More of my issues with the SCTA.

Sorry JackD... thats why I am glad the folks at Bubs came along.

[firemanjim]

Yeah total BS having to run at speeds well over 200  to get into the 200 club,when the record for your class is at or below 200.If you set a record and go over,that should be good enough.Afraid the good ole boys club will be diluted/sullied by those stinkin' motorcycle riders.
Again,another  rule imposed by a few that potentially affects every competitor without any input from those affected--kinda like the new leathers rule.
I really wanted to make the Bubs event but have had too many setbacks getting bikes ready.

There is a case of a biker setting a record above that of an existing member and was denied membership becaus they were below the recient club minimums.
Perhaps it is over.
Modern tech is easier for cars too. Look at the Grant 5 second glub in Drag Racing. It closed after a set number of members. Now if you don't go 4s, you won't qualify.
SCTA tired of them years ago and abandoned the minimums at Bonneville.
When they published the first minimums, it was for cars only. While Don Vesco was advising them , the bikes were left alone. Now they have become subject matter experts.
