Congrat's on the record......it would be a challenge just to stay on a quad at that kind of speed.

I knew staying on the quad would be a test...I ran 80mph down the interstate through a construction zone to get a radar speed and that speed alone wanted to pull you back on the bike if you didn't say down against the gas tank. Like I said, congrat's, and goodluck with the next run.

Thanks again. Still not sure if we should create an association for doing this annually, though. Hi speed runs are inherently risky or else everyone would be chasing the world record. Obviously, if we create the organization, we would have all sorts of safety rules, but do you think there would be enough interest in breaking the ATV land speed records or even establishing land speed record categories like we see in motorcycles at the Salt Flats? Any thoughts appreciated.

Some of you may have seen the April Dirt Wheels which debuts my rocket powered Raptor. It is also on the Albaaction.com site. What many didn't know was that we broke the Guiness World ATV (Quad) land speed record by sustaining 122 mph off-road, multiple back to back passes under the strict Guiness guidelines for a production ATV. It will be officially set and authenticated in a couple weeks by their rules of acceptance. BUTTTTTT....I didn't start this thread to inflate my ego, rather I wanted feedback on an idea we are kicking around. The reason we set out to break the ATV land speed record was because the Bonneville, SCTA and other U.S. timing authorities will not come out of the seventies and acknowledge Quads. Only Guiness will. By getting world recognition under a sanctioning body, we are now thinking of establishing a timing authority here in the U.S. just for Quads. We would hold meets, much like the folks at the Salt Flats and set up our own guidelines and ATV categories. What does everyone think? Are we just loopy or could there be a few others out there with a need for speed that would like to see if they can be the next hi-speed top dawg?
