Pretty cool. Just found out corporate is sponsoring her...
Sir Speedy, Inc. is pleased to announce the sponsorship of Leslie Porterfield, "The Fastest Woman in the World," as she attempts to break a land speed record on a motorcycle. The attempt will take place at the famous Bonneville Salt Flats between August 28 and September 2 during the International Speed Trials, when Leslie will attempt to reach a speed of 254 mph aboard her turbocharged Sir Speedy Honda.
As a current holder of several Guinness Book of World Record titles, Leslie is not new to going fast. In 2008 she broke the world record of 234 mph to become the fastest woman in the world. This time, the goal is to be "The Fastest Person In the World on Two Wheels."
In preparation for the world record attempt, Leslie is at the Bonneville Salt Flats August 14 - 20 during Speed Week.
