Reports trickled in late last night, here is what I know....
Scott Kolb is now the World Record Holder for 125cc unfaired motorcycles!!!
From what I've gathered so far, Scott made a second attempt late Wednesday, but had mechanical problems with a newly installed cooling duct. The duct managed to rub the front wheel, causing the wheel to shred. Scott managed to keep the bike stable and complete the run, but only managed a paltry 109mph.
The team made a third attempt early yesterday and fell short of the partially streamlined record by 6mph. In a last ditch effort to grab some glory, they decided to ditch the streamliner and go for the 125cc unfaired World Record. The standing record was 115mph. Scott triped the speed traps for a 119mph average !!
If I know Scott, he'll spend the winter in some sort of make shift
windtunnel and try for record number two next year !!!
