World record smashed!

Yesterday at the FIA approved drag strip Santa Pod, Team Dwarf Racing
smashed the terminal speed record for a twist `n go scooter previously held
by PM Tuning.

The run was verified by staff and timing lights checked to confirm it`s
validity.

Dave on Red Dwarf in very trying conditions posted a terminal speed over the
standing start 1/4 mile of 119.81mph at 12.4663 seconds.
As an aside I also posted a PB time of 12.99 seconds being I believe only
the third scooter to break into the 12 second barrier at this track.



Needless to say im a bit happy with these results BUT it was only testing
and quite a bad run from Dave with loads of wheel spin and the threat of
snow in the air so Im confident we can break 130mph from a standing start on
a scooter!

Kezza caught it on vid so heres the You Tube addy for those that are
intrested

It`s not often you can say you are the best in the world at doing something
but (it appears) we are

Take care you guys and I will keep UKRM updated as to our progress over the
coming year.

 

well done those nutters

 

Wahey! Top stuff, that loony. Congrats.

You are an absolutel star. And an ugly bugger.

 

I only managed a 12.19s on a GS1000S (abeit back in 1982).
You crazy, mad fuckers.
Do keep up the good work.

Mad. Brilliant. Well done.

 

Im claiming a speed record TOG not a beauty contest

And that`s Dave in the vid showing his face and timing ticket but i`ll pass
on your comments, (i deem not to show my face for tax reasons amd irrate
girlfriends ;-)

 

11.98 secs on a GSX750EFE in 1986. Dead chuffed I was cos Pip Higham
only managed 12 secs dead on an identical bike.

I was just telling someone about you boys and your scooter-tuning
efforts the other day.

Good work, fellas.

 

Yebbut - you look somewhat like Dave.

 

Well done those chaps, from a twist n go, you're as mad as a bucket of
frogs.

 

... Wicksteeds park ?

 

Heheheh, nice one.

You're mad, howling at the moon barking fucking mad. Good result though!

I've already posted about this, but then I watched the video and
thought a bit.

Isn't it good that feckin' nutters are still allowed some leeway to do
daft things? It'd be a strange place if everyone were 'the same', I
mean, I've no intention of ever wanting to run a scooter at that kind
of pace, but thank god someone wants to and is still allowed to.

Well done Pete & Dave, long may you continue.

Now, where's me lawnmower and Haynes book of 2 stroke tuning? ...
