The bike below is not his but runs in the same class. Basically a Top Fuel Harley but the P/D bikes have smaller fuel (nitromethane) motors, a carb instead of fuel injection and are jackshaft bikes with no transmission.Clutch set up is air over mechanical over weighted centrifugal. free upload pictures

DaddyRat Campfire Regular D Joined: Oct 2007 Posts: 2,502 Weaverville NC	135 in a 1990 Ford Mustang racing 2 other mustangs. I was in 2nd at the time. 135 in a 1989 Crown Vic with blue lights on top. Routinely over 100 on night shifts and 80 in a 35 responding to assistance calls. Did not get nervous until around 120, stuff moves quick then, although, a herd of deer at 100 will wake you up quick. I was much younger and stupid. Drive a school bus now going to work so none of that silliness.

Moved shortly after finishing building this car with my buddy It got him into the 300 mph club which was the goal of building it. I lost track of how many class records it set but it's still racing over 20 years later. 458, I see you've been on salt.

Dave_Skinner Campfire Outfitter Joined: May 2003 Posts: 10,441 Likes: 1 The Treasure State	Wow, I'm not in the same sprint class as you kids, but can claim some pretty good average times point to point. Top single run speed is only about 125 or so, but one time my dad (retired ADC) and I made it from Pugetopia to the Flathead with an average speed of 86.2 mph. We would have gone faster but there were 3 or 4 WSP aerial copz we saw or heard on the radio, or the laser and radar detectors went off. Top speed on a bike is also in the 120, basically a redlined KZ750E, I did that only after spending a bunch of aftermarket money on suspension goodies and V-rated meats. Before that, the headshake and weave was not exactly confidence-inspiring. Up hills slow, Down hills fast Tonnage first and Safety last.

Worked the interstate from 67 to 89 125 mph was hit several times a day to overtake violators. Speed is the only thing I miss about police work, well that and free doughnuts.

Did you just see the speedo hit it and back out or did you hold , and for how long ? Autobahn speeds are held at those numbers for long periods of times as your cruising from one place to another. Seen many an American car on the side, with a blown motor, cuz they can't maintain those kind of rpm's or speed for very long.

People have quoted speeds that accurately tested cars with more horsepower and better aerodynamics have trouble matching.
