what have the zx10s done with RG on them???
Over 200, there are 3 of them, I think. Not sure of the different configurations. I know Richard was riding a stock motor with a slip-on to over 200 mph today.
But believe me, Bill's 311 run was just incredible. I mean, wow.

That was the first full pass ever on the bike. I am sure it has more in it. But he is so far ahead of any competitor, he could park it for good...he has already made hisory.

They set 2 new records..... the 1000 cc fuel at 206.7 mph that was 199 mph and the 1000 cc gas at 203 that was 179? mph.
Richard being smaller, set both records. The zx10 has so little fairing and wing screen to hide behind Rickey cant get small enough.
Both bikes have stock cams and pistons. But the green one has had the head off...
I also shot a great video of Bill Warners 311 mph run but with zoom..... not that there's anything to see once hes a half mile out from the line but...... Rickey made a run 2 people before bills run and he got a very rare treat to see the run from the other end... he said the bike was not that loud being a turbo of course and that there was an immense swirling cloud behind the bike as he went threw the lights..... all sorts of vortex activity and dust cloud.
Bill had a hard time stopping and actually went off the end of the track into the gravel. He told me he had planned for that and actually had taken his truck up the grass embankment to mark and pack the grass for a catastrophic break failure so he would have a plan.
He actually had a front brake partial melt down trying to stop the bike. he doesnt get the rapid speed reduction when letting off the throttle like most bikes due to the bikes great aeros. he actually has to use the breaks to take all the speed out of the bike.

Lee,
The only BMW I saw was a stock 1300, no 1000's.
My son Chad was talking to Richard on the phone while we were there and "called him out" to bring the new 10 to Maxton and Chad will find a BMW to bring. All in good fun since they've been racing each other over the years.
I'm here to tell you, the new 10 is the real deal.....they are fast with very few mods.
I for one would like to see them run at the same venue at the same time with the same mods, it might be a good match but I'd pull for the Kawi!!
Bill's pass was simply awesome, he got tiny REAL quick.
