255+!!!Congrats to Wayne Pollack and Rich Yancy
« on: May 02, 2005, 06:18:08 PM »
Got an email from Wayne on his best ever at Maxton......

"Yesterday was another story.I was riding Rich Yancy's (Engine machinist for Dale Earnhart Jr.) #8 Turbo Hayabusa.  I ran four passes, all were over 253 mph. My fastest official average was 255.5 miles per hour. That made me the second fastest record holder on the planet ( My Teammate Lee Shierts has the fastest at 256.3).   My Exit speed was 258.1 which was the fastest open wheeled motorcycle run ever recorded."

Nice riding Wayne(did ya make short shut??LOL)....great job on the bike Rich...

Quote from: scott g
Which brings up several interesting points.

The fastest seven open-wheel motorcycle records
now standing are ALL over 250 MPH, and were ALL
set by a street-legal motorcycle. All the records were
set on the #8 BUD BUSA designed, built,
and tuned by RICH YANCY.

These seven fabulous records were set in three different racing years,
at two different tracks, and by three different riders.

AND, the bike has a MR TURBO system!

256.410 MPH........LEE SHIERTS........Oct 04.....Maxton  *
255.543 MPH........WAYNE POLLACK...May 05....Maxton
254.885 MPH........WAYNE POLLACK...May 05....Maxton
253.835 MPH........WAYNE POLLACK....May 05....Maxton
253.114 MPH........WAYNE POLLACK....May 05....Maxton
251.148 MPH........SCOTT GUTHRIE....Aug 04.....Goliad  *
250.006 MPH........LEE SHIERTS.........Oct 03.....Maxton
* = Motorcycle Track Record


Congrats to All involved! !  :beechug:

When Knecum told me this morning I told everyone at work! !  :kickass:

Way too go..however please sell me that "MR.Turbo" system since that is what you called it for the retail price Terry sold them for. :moped:

Remember that that bike is a work of art and the Turbo system is radically changed from the "base" kit. :yes:

Again Rich, you are Da man! !  you have the most awesome open wheel motorcycle in history period bar non!   Wayne, no matter the conditions, track, turns, bumps wind, whatever! you did it, again congrats! !  You are in a class by yourself! :kickass:  :kickass:  :kickass:  :kickass:

Rich can you bring that bike to Bonneville or El Mirage? it would run great there also...I am sure with the right suspension it could beat the existing top records.  If there is anything I could do to assist in getting the bike and a rider there let me know.

Again Congrats to Rich and Wayne ! !

Great stuff,

the bar has been lifted again for a few of you guys at the top of the ladder.
Thing is , there is still only less than a handful at the top of the ladder.

Thanks Guys,
   To have recognition from my peers, who are world class riders, builders and competitors is really the icing on this cake. I want to thank Rich, not only for his dedication to building one bad ass hot rod, but for being kind enough to allow me to ride it.  I would also like to thank Scott Guthrie once again for having kept me in the game and sharing his experience. I consider myself very fortunate to stand with the fierce Competitors of Land Speed Racing.

If you plot the rate of acceleration, He was probably going 260 before he had a chance to shut it off and worry about getting stopped.
That is the reason for the 2 trap method. It lets the entrant know if they are speeding up or slowing down.
It was first used when a rider was slowing down in the trap while going 230 + in anticipation of the turn that was headed his way fast. When he realized he was shutting off early, I don't know if it helped him or not. While he did go faster, I know it scared him to think about it.
That was not Maxton.
