World record attempt

[Flyboy_451]

Next month I will be in Ohio for a world record attempt at the Ohio Mile!

The bike is a highly modified 2003 Victory Vegas. 104" turbo charged engine producing 220HP at the rear wheel.

I am hoping for 170mph. This will be a standing 1 mile acceleration run with the speed clocked at the traps.

2. What record are you hoping to get?

With appropriate gearing, 170 should be attainable in standing start mile.

3. At work

And cannot remember the exact phrasing of the category, but it boils down to modified cruiser, V-Twin, overhead cam, turbo charged, gasoline, less than 2,000cc.

I'm pretty sure the bike is capable of reaching 170. Not sure about me though. Lol

If the bike runs well and I do my part, I think we have a shot at a record. But, this is my first attempt at this type of racing, so I am expecting a steep learning curve.

As long as I make it down the track without a mechanical failure or accident on every run, I will call it a successful first attempt!

4. Leave your fly unzipped. The breeze at that speed should be curiously satisfying.

Good luck... Be Safe... I hope you safely nail your attempt.

5. Think I'll pass on that bit of advice...

And simply hope that the better half is in a loving mood when we return to the hotel. Lol

6. Presumably with mirrors removed for the run?

7. Yes.

All glass must be removed or taped over
