Sorry, only saw this just now. We left on Monday as Elvington is 340 miles away.
There were around twenty riders for the Top-Speed-Tuesday meeting, the weather was warm and humid, not good for making power and there was a 10-12mph headwind which cut speeds down. I think the wind dropped a bit late in the afternoon but I'd stopped running by then.
Fastest was Jo Stevenson at 233.1mph on a Busa Turbo, she was delighted with her FTD.
Mike's Hayabusa was off tune, just 221mph but we identified a faulty boost controller as the culprit, so no surprise.
The fastest all-motor bike was Terry Smith's stroker Busa at 194.8mph.
My 14 managed 191.4mph and that was geared back down to the stock 17/42. (last time 203.1 geared 17/41) Still ok for a nearly stock bike.
It was a great meeting though, as always and you can't expect a PB every time.
