Tom, VERY interesting article, thanks for bringing to us. Sam Wheeler
and Terry Kizer had a great outing at World Finals and Sam is certainly
nipping at the heels of the World Record. All he has to do is put two
good runs together at that level.
I think Sam will do it next year!
I do fault the article for being perhaps a bit confusing to an
unschooled reader. The 334 was the reported exit speed on the Long
Course. It was also reported that Sam did 226 for a mile on the same
run.
But up to the moment the official World FIM Record remains the 322.149
mph by Dave Campos in the Easyriders 'liner with Harley-based power in
1990. Bill Hoddinott
