Our friend RYAN OSTERGARD has LEAPED onto this list,
with his new track record at Wilmington Ohio,
in the May 2015 1.0 mile meeting.
This is also remarkable since his wife,
the beautiful JENNIFER ROBERTSON,
will be sitting next to him on "The List."
With a "sum of speeds," of 487 mph, I believe
that makes them "nobility" as
the 1st couple of speed
in the motorcycle world.
Show him and them your appreciation !
Ryan Ostergard 243.770mph WILmin 15 ****Wilmington Track Record****
Quick shout-out for KEN ROBINSON.
In the recent speed trials on the Salt of Australia,
Ken posted a fine 232.889 mph on a normally - aspired
Hayabusa running in the 1350cc class.
This is a fine time for an NA Busa anywhere,
and we can all be proud of what Ken accomplished in Oz !

about 1.0 mile, but some racers used
less that that length to achieve their results.)

News Flash !
We have just heard that Becci Ellis
took a tumble in England while slowing
from a run at over 250 mph.
No firm reports on her condition, but she has been
photographed with a cast on her left hind leg,
but with a smile.
Ordinary braking calls out for a slow-down distance,
at 0.4g, of more than a mile.
Her stop was no doubt both quicker,
and more disconcerting......
Here's a you-tube clip of one of MY riders,
is the same sort of situation at Bonneville in about 2008.
Use your volume control,
and look quickly at the time slip......

A more lengthy report for Becci and her crash.....
World's fastest woman crashes
I had a similar thing happen at Maxton
about 15 years ago at Maxton while running
for record on a turbo ZX9.
At something over 200 MPH, the air tried
to "lift me off the bike." I was able to maintain
control only by "overusing" my abdominal muscles
while I decelerated safely down to a manageable speed.
The result was a one foot (12 inch) tear
in my abdominal wall, which I still have.
Later, I went 251mph on another bike.....
Let's hope for Becci that she returns as well,
and sets a 270 mph mark, as is her goal.

Above are the names of the riders (and sponsors)
that are the fastest “sit-on†riders
in the world – no streamliners.
One (1) listing PER PERSON.
Unless otherwise listed,
their single fastest speed
(Lifetime)
Bonneville is flying start
Some are ¼ mile standing start.
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 speeds 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, Brazil
and the return of Russia ?

GREAT start to the 2016 season !
At 256.7 mph, MIKE GARCIA joins
The Motorcycle 250 mph Club
The Motorcycle 250 mph Club also
welcomes HOUSEIN ALSOWAIGH at 255.3 mph
The Club welcomes MIKE GARCIA, from scenic SOLDOTNA Arkansas,
riding a turbo Hayabusa tuned by RICHARD SIMS MOTORSPORTS.
Mike hammered the 1.5 mile long Mojave track to the
special speed while fighting wind and bad weather.
This beats Mike's former best of 249. mph, and jumps him
up from 36th place on the World's Fastest list to the 21st spot.
A fabulous improvement of fifteen (15) places
at the beginning of the season.
The Motorcycle 250 mph Club also welcomed HOUSEIN ALSOWAIGH
HOUSEIN ALSOWAIGH , ran the Beeville Mile's scary track at 255.3 mph.
Tuned by KEVIN BLAISE of BLAISE CYCLE in south Florida, the turbo Hayabusa
moved ALSOWAIGH of from 249.6,(and 31st on the World's Fastest List)
to a new high of 24th.
Let's show these brave men our appreciation for
difficult accomplishments, under less-than-perfect conditions,
and their over 250mph speeds so early in the season !
Maybe this signals a return to the glory of former seasons,
when 250 mph speeds were almost expected,
and many men and women went VERY fast.......[/font]

Fabulous start to the season !
This just in from Wilmington
Ransom Holbrook = 244.2997 mph
NO TURBO, just nitrous !
Fast time of the meet,
Fast time of the year.
Beat all the cars......
That puts him on the World's Fastest Riders
List in about 45 place.
(MOST worthy for a first-effort to make
the list in the mile with NO TURBO !)
THREE big moves on the world's fastest list
of fifty, and it's only the beginning of May !

Update from Rickey Gadson From Dianna:
Not good news on surgery. It is worse
He will need c1-6 all fused along with a plate in5-6 and only 50 percent range of motion. He will start his orthopedic surgeries tomorrow. First, right arm with external fixator. That will take about 5-6 hours. If he's stable, they will then do lower left leg w a big rod; then on to the right foot. Once his chest and internals are less at risk, they will do the second neck surgery from C1-5 as that one is done from behind. Last night's C5-6 surgery w plating was done from the front.
Prayers welcome! Thx!
