Eric Teboul, the record run at Bradenton in the clip below. I was in the tower calling some of the racing that weekend and recorded that run with my ol' iPhone 4S, 5.12 @ 264.39. He's been faster but not quicker.
I know Eric and have helped call some of his runs here in Europe. None of the others in the tower had ever seen him live before and I freaked out big time seeing the clock stop at 5.12. Everybody but me were real happy but I was seriously worried about his well being and asked people to call down ASAP and get a check if on he was OK or even alive. People thought I was kidding at first but one person noted that I was not and called. He was OK with the front wheel in the gravel and the rear wheel on the asphalt. I of course talked to him afterwards and he said it was pretty rough with locking up wheels etc. He actually decided to bail but things got a bit more stable so he stayed on the bike. The personell by the shut down area said they'd never seen anything come down there that quick, tires and brakes smoking.
