Above are the names of the riders (and sponsors) that are
the fastest“sit-onâ€￾ riders in the world – no streamliners.

Track lengths include: ¼ mile, ½ mile, 1 mile , 1.3 mile, 1.5 mile,
distance not recorded and Bonneville style unlimited distance.

Racing surfaces include: asphalt, concrete, dirt and salt.

**(The Finnish speed were run on a track with a maximum racing length of
about 1.0 mile, but some racers used less that that length to achieve their results.)

It is apparent from the track listings and dates that motorcycle LSR (Land Speed
Racing) is now a true international sport. When will we see Japan,
China, Brasil and the return of Russia ?



Thanks to PiPPi of Sweden for the Drag information.

Thanks to Speedduck for the Finnish results.

** Conditional results, see below

iB::Aihe::Suomen "virallinen" +200mph lista

Mr. Duck lists the results of the last two weeks (July 2012), and gives us the link.
(It is not clear to me if these results are based on a timing trap, radar, GPS, data
or other method, but we will keep them on the list until there is a complete clarification)

All speeds listed are OFFICIAL speeds. No GPS from “individuals,â€￾

Not all timing organizations use the same speed measuring equipment.

If you have additions or corrections, please FIRST PM me, or post.

OBSERVATIONS FOR THE 2013 SEASON:

Five (5) new members on the list, including several
in the 1/4 mile, and even a 750cc 2-stroke,
but nobody new going over the prestigious 250 mph mark.

Ride safe and be lucky and fast in 2014 !

Who's this guy setting records at 60?

23) Scott Guthrie…(Rich Yancy)........251.147….Busa…..Goliad……2004…….1.0 mile
Record set when he was @ Age 60
World and Goliad track record when run.

So, here's a question...how many were added to the list when over 60 years old? I imagine the list would narrow a bit...

 

[dadofthree]

60 is the new 30

 

[dadofthree]

I am not sure if my 2nd generation busa is the fastest but i had it dyno at 198 bhp / 110 Lbs torque.....

That's a very generous dyno, but unless you take it to 312 M.P.H. in a mile and a half don't worry about it.

I think instead of going with a pig you might have been better off with a troll

I am pretty that Billy Shoemaker was
well over 60 when he joined the "250 Club."

 

[outlawbusa]

I think that would be an honorable list of accomplishments to see if one ever comes about...

I remember when Guy Lombardi came to Maxton
The night before the fatal accident he came to my trailer with his girlfriend and talked for a while.
Even though it was his first run at this particular strip I couldn't help but think how great it was to be doing something he loved at an age where most would not be running 150 - 200 mph on two wheels.

 

[frisbee]

I will be in that 225 club this year at Mojave

 

[outlawbusa]

Good luck!

Don't forget Dave Owens, I'm sure there's others.

 

[outlawbusa]

Don't forget Dave Owens, I'm sure there's others.

The memories are there, and always will be...this is a clip I put at the end of a personal video a couple years ago. I also had Bill Warner at the end with his accomplishments up to that point.

 

[BlueHaya]

In a year I was bumbed 15 spots. Lots of folks hitting the 200 now. Keep'em safe fellas......and ladies ;}

I did not personally know Guy Lombardi, but because
of the nearness in age (I am 70) I felt a kinship.

Guy, I believe, had an "A" motorcycle license at Bonneville
from the BUB organization.
(An "A" license allows one to go 200 - 249 MPH).

Guy had never run at Maxton before, and was impatient to go fast.
The organizers recognized the BUB "A" License, but demanded that
Guy go through the usual licensing program (Runs at about 125, 150,
175 and then 200 mph) to allow him to become "familiar with the "odd bits"
about the Maxton track, especially the shut-down area.

Guy decided to forget the 125, 150 and 175 passes,
and go straight for the magical "200" number.

It was not to be.

When I approached Guy's crashed bike
(I was part of the accident - investigation crew),
I noted that Guy's nitrous bottle had NOT been turned on,
so his theoretical maximum would have been in the 185-195 mph
range for a lightly worked-on motor. In fact, his 1.0 mile speed was about 185 MPH.

It was evident that Guy never attempted
to make "THE TURN" in the Maxton shut-down.

Lombardi left the track - within maybe five (5) feet
of the place where, a year before, DaveO
had left the track on the way to his own death,
hitting a tree in the "run-off" area.

Guy suffered his fatal injuries (As did DaveO)
by hitting obstructions in the shut-down area.

Could he have saved his own life by
following the track procedures to the letter ?

Could he have lived to race another day ?

Another ten years ?

A productive life, cut too short.........
