Eric Teboul - a new world record

[timtime]

I know its not racing but I just wanted to add congratulations to Eric after his world best pass on the rocket bike.

A stunning performance, look forward to seeing the Top Fuel bike again as well after the wall hugging run on Sunday.

:rubs-hands: excellent...

was seriously considering it anyway. With 6 spare seats, it becomes very economically do-able. Depends on what work decide next week...

So hypothetically speaking, if you wanted to find out that sort of information, it would be really handy if there was a web site dedicated to European drag racing, with news, race coverage, facts and figures, where people could go and look up things like "how fast/quick did Eric Teboul run?". I wonder if anyone's made such a site?

Tet, man, you're dreaming again. Surely such a site is beyond the dreams of mere mortals, and were such a horsepower nirvana ever to exist, why, the subscription would be costly beyond the dreams of avarice. No, we will just have to go back to relying on Facebook...

But Jon, surely Facebookers must get their information from somewhere.....

Please remember that Kestral is stuck in the 80's and each post here is delivered by Pigeon...or Kestral.

I am scared he will find the internet one day, this could blow his mind...

If I were Eric Teboule I would be very disappointed.A world record that no one seems to know about!

[Bikermoore]

From my understanding, Santa Pod now can claim the outright ET records for both 2 and 4.

In otherwords Santa Pod is the quickest drag racing strip in the world on 2 and 4 wheels.

I was told that the Gunniess Book of Records has stopped recognizing the Rocket records achived at Santa Pod.It said that there was doubt about the validity of them in particular Millers records. There is one American rocket car builder who has said he will give $10000 to anyone who has a film video of Sammy Miller doing his 3.58 sec run and can prove the time and speeds were true.
