The First 200MPH Pro/Stock Bike Run ??

[my friends call me Zappy]

I've heard it predicted, that Pomona could very possibly produce the first 200 pass on a PSB this year.
I doubt very much, but what say you, fellow Maters.?

 

[none]

Why not?! I think some of the teams have the right stuff queued up if the weather cooperates. And the forecast looks good right now.

Harleys don't want to pick up any unnecessary holiday season pounds....

I'd love to see one of the Suzuki's do it but I don't think it's going to happen, by anybody.

 

[Paul]

Not going to happen at Pomona, the track has some elevation (1,043ft above sea level), it will happen at a track that's near sea level. Gainesville will be the next real chance of it to happen.

 

[troy boy]

I think Andrew said in order to get a 200 they would need a good track and a tail wind. So the weather is really key.

 

[MHayes]

If I recall correctly, the Harley team was pretty close to eclipsing the 200mph barrier in Gainesville this year, so as Paul had mentioned, that's probably the next best bet!

If one of the Harley-Davidson bikes hits 200mph, H-D's Kris Schoonover has promised to shave his substantial beard! Don't think the weather will cooperate at Pomona because it'll be in the '80s both qualifying days - Sunday should be cooler - why not go and find out?

 

[vegasnitro]

The answer to the question at hand is "no".

Love to see a Suzuki do it.

Love to see a Suzuki do it.

Yea, I remember Micheal Phillips used to run a lot of mph with his Suzuki a couple of years ago so it would be interesting to see what he would run if he was still out there.

 

[Demon]

Probably at Gainesville '16..Hopefully Krawiec does it.

But .... First Bike qualifying sessions are scheduled before Noon each day. It won't be in the 80's at that time. I don't think 200mph will happen either, but it could be pretty quick and fast. Let's see what Jerry Savoie or Chip Ellis can do on their Suzukis.

On a side note, has anybody ever seen Kris without the beard. Probably would have to look twice before recognizing him without it.

 

[none]

Chip Ellis has a Suzuki?

Fingers and brain slightly disconnected ... was trying to do each rider separately and hit "GO" way too soon.
