Straightliners would like to put to bed any doubts about the speeds set on Tuesday the 12th November at Elvington by the three scooters that attended
Firstly let me say that the speeds recorded where over a flying mile and we ran from west to east as we do for all events of this type at Elvington we use the surveyed distance marks that are used for World and British records on this site, The timing equipment used is certified accurate to 10000 of a second for top speed runs we use an 80 foot speed trap at the end of the measured distance this is set up inside the mile with the finish beam on the exact mile mark
As the day in question was an extra day put on at very short notice we did not have our normal printed tickets available to us so we had to revert to hand written ones the system we used was for all speeds to be put on a master sheet and then put on to the timing cards I have the master sheets if you want to look at them
I can guarantee that the speeds some of you are questioning are correct and the rider in question did indeed back up is 105mph run with a 104mph run I know he did it because I went and looked at the timing clock ,,as some of you will know I have an interest in all things two stroke I have ridden them all my racing life and over the two days we where at Elvington I took particular interest in the progress of our scooter riders,, the wind direction on the day varied from a south westerly to a full westerly direction changing back and forth over the day the max wind speed I recoded was 9mph and the average was around 5mph to 6mph in a westerly direction
And finally if you still doubt the speeds I will set up a test day at Elvington at my own cost and you can come and show the world you did do over 100mph on a road scooter, and if you have video of your runs I will submit the timing data to Guinness for ratification Best Regards Trevor Duckworth (Straightliners)
