Who and when will a Pro Bike hit 200 MPH?

[JC]

I'm headed to Maple Grove in the fall with my 11 year old. Going to be a long trip down from Maine. I have never been there but am looking forward to some cool fall air. Will anyone be able to run 200 on a bike before then? Hector J.R seems to be the guy as of now but the summer air is going to slow them N/A motors as bit in the mean time. What do you guys/gals think?

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

It's going to take a sea level track & mine shaft conditions. and no head wind. (imo)

Sonoma will be the first real shot at it, if the Marine Layer is there on the Saturday AM session it could be done there.

I agree Paul, the obvious "speed" tracks should be in play. Sonoma naturally, then certainly MG on its all new concrete which eliminated the bumps that used to really upset the Bikes. Conditions were less than spectacular at E-Town but Hector Jr. was able to do this in Q4 ...

Top Speed: Hector Arana Jr 199.37 MPH

Conditions at the start of the session, nothing spectacular as far as air ...

3:58 p.m. - Weather conditions: air temperature 77 degrees, relative humidity 47 percent, barometer 29.86 inches, adjusted altitude 1,846 feet, track temperature 106 degrees.

Well I selfishly HOPE it is Sonoma since I am going!! I really think it will happen this year though either way.

I guess you do Craig if you took the time to make a comment. Just trying to add some discussion to one of my favorite websites/. If you don't care about Pro Bikes don't comment...

I agree with Jay. Craig if you don't like the thread don't post your "who cares"..

Well, so far Antron is the only PSB "rider" that I know of that has gone over 200mph. Heck, he goes over 300.

who cares????

You've made it quite clear that you don't like P/S bikes. Do you always repeat yourself? repeat yourself, repeat yourself............................................................

My guess it will take a 6.7 run to do it!!!
