Default 89 MPH WORLD RECORD?

I was reading my guiness book of world records a few days ago, and the world record for the fastest speed ever achieved on an atv was either 89 or 98, one or the other. But of some reason i just dont beleive that is true, i am sure that i have been at least that fast a couple of times out at the sand. I am by my self on this one, or does anyone else agree with me?

for the record you probably have to go for a mile in two directions and take the average of your speed.

The record is 99.26 mph. Held by Graham "G-force" hicks.

The kicker is that Graham is deaf and blind.

I would put the web page down but the filters already kicked it out.

Do a search on yahoo. For, ATV WORLD RECORD

Its on there and he had a rider behind him.

The thing that gets me is the mph. Its low. I know that a few of the quads on this forum with proper gearing could beat this. Scooby is high on that list with his Turboed DS.

I wonder what the rules are for attempting the world record?

I have seen this record many times. I think the blind guy still has it because noone really wants to go and take it away from him. It was an incredible accomplishment. So I think its kindof a respect thing. The kangaroo Kid (I think thats his name) from the Huevos Grande video helped the guy do it.
