219mph
Mikey Mikester ran 219mph on his new Velocity turbo 12R this weekend at a meeting held by www.200mph.org.uk at RAF Woodbridge in the UK.
Is that faster than you guys?
My old 810 turbo ran 185mph too.

Fastest ZX12R at maxton was 218.xx I believe, but then again, Maxton is a standing MILE, not 1.5 miles or more like your event.

I don't know, some of the pictures I've seen of Maxton it doesn't look all that great either.

AMEN, the difference is you see immediately the parts you are eating as opposed to the salt getting everything.

Is it a 1290 + a stroker crank?

Nope, it's a stroker crank and stock bore. I know the head has been done and it's pretty high compression because it has 2 batteries to start it, but he runs it on regular pump unleaded. Up til this meeting the fastest it had been was 203, against our 205.5mph 1270 Muzzy big bore, so we weren't too worried. But then he ran 205, 208, 209, 210 and 212.9!! Conditions were great, cool, overcast, steady tailwind. On 18/42 he was showing 11,600rpm in top. We were just blown away...
