New personal speed record 58.1mph

Dagon - 6-4-2009 at 10:39 AM

this was the year for speed at NABX. first day I was there I broke my previous record of 51.4mph and hit 57.7mph with a 3m jojo rm + in 20-30mph winds. the second day I hit 58.1mph with my 2m samurai. I was in the libre hardcore with smooth tires and no extra weight.

I wanted to break 60mph but I didnt ride on friday, that will have to wait for next year.

Oh and Kiah, my 13 yr old son did 30.6mph in a 1m profoil on 20 m lines!! on the same day I hit my record. he was in a vmax buggy.

acording to popeye's site I am the second fastest buggy pilot in the USA. but I know that is not true, AJ was doing 67mph and Jon ellis has done like 65mph before. we need to get more people posting their personal best.

I would post mine, but if I recall correctly from reading Popeye's site in the past, I don't have the criteria required. Only my gps and my word... which is understandable not to accept that without more to back it up. Although I do have more witnesses for the 58.4 from thursday night as a result of being convinced that the evening wind was uhhh "calming down"...lol

But my pb isn't far from that anyway (61.8) Both with the 4m RM+ and libre buggy.

Wht a great time though huh...:wee:

all I gave popeye was a gps reading and my word. you better post your speeds or you will have me walking around telling everyone I am faster than you.
