Forwarded from the EVDL mailing list:
The KillaJoule just set an FIM land speed record of 212.047 MPH at the
BUB Motorcycle Speed Trials on the Bonneville Salt Flats. This is the
international record for sidecar motorcycles. (Not just electric, but
the FIM record for _all_ sidecar motorcycles.)
Our "magic number" is 225 mph. That is because 224 is the fastest
_national_ record (SCTA) for a sidecar motorcycle, which is really the
record we want to beat.
We are trying to update our facebook page as we go, (but racing does not
leave much idle time.)

There are two more days of racing at the event, and we have changed
gearing, etc. We are hoping to dial it in to bump up the speed a bit. :-)
