    On a scooter at Santa Pod.
    Is not easy on a twist`n`go but despite adverse conditions on the last run
    before the drizzle came down and despite being gutted by the previous
    99.98mph run we managed on the last run.

    12.7131 at 100.21mph.

    Only the second time it`s ever been done at Pod and the third time in the
    world (AFAIK).

    Petel.

    Excellent. I'd like to think of a better word to describe that result
    but there isn't one.

    Congrats to all concerned.

    World record is only 4mph ahead held by PM Tuning on their sprinter so we`re
    on it! (in chav speak :)

    Seriously confidence is high to take the world record for the standing start
    1/4 terminal speed from one of our shed built creations :).

    Any UKRM member running at Pod please let yourself be known to Team Dwarf
    and maybe free biccies and T will be in order, or at least gaffer tape or
    loan of tools Lol!

    Post up beforehand and if those of ukrm are sensible they will all take
    their still/video camera to record the New World Record and maybe you
    could make enough money out of flogging the rights to M&M that he could
    afford a proper bike.

    Petel, the world is a better place for having people like you in it.
    Just not too many... ;^)
