R3 LSR Record

[IMFASTTOO]

175mph

i earned my class b lsr license this weekend with a pass of 174.94747 mph on my sc r3. I believe this is the fastest speed ever achieved by a rocket 3, albeit modified.



my thanks to the following friends and companies, that helped me achieve this goal:

neville lush; neville lush racing
gary turner & blackstone tek
philippe danh; beringer usa
richard albans; tts
jerry, dylan, and jamison; cycle solutions
wayne dassele; dragline708

Whoo Hooo!

That must be a rush going that fast on a bike. How did it handle and what was the turbulence like?

How far of a run do you make?

Congrats!!!!

Well Earned

Wayne:

Record of 175mph was a well earned step on the ladder to the 200mph club.

Best of luck on next runs.

Thanks for all the help.

You misunderstand LSR competition, Snuff. Until I demonstrated a controlled pass of 175 MPH, ECTA will not let me run up to 200 MPH (Class B). Bad Hombre got more... I was not on the limiter.

My first pass was 126.72594 MPH (Class D License 125MPH target speed).

Second pass 148.34127 MPH (Class C License 150 MPH target speed).

Third pass 174.94747 MPH (Class B License 175 MPH target speed).

You must demonstrate a controlled pass of + or - 5MPH of target speed to earn the license. Plenty of Busa Boys blew it by passing +10 MPH too slow!

Got it. I went online and checked out Maxton and LSR and brought myself up to "Snuff" so to speak. Best of luck on the 200+mph!
