Yep you read that right!

Egg Popta did the kilometre wheelie with a terminal speed of 199.4 mph on a turbo Busa.

Now that's some going!!
 
I have been yo York raceway a couple of times to see them doing their stuff.

Absolute nutters.
 
Things really have moved on since I last took part, it used to be a case of get to the 1 km start clutch it up and go through the gears from about 50 mph til the end.
Now the it looks like the way forward is nail it off the line, hit the start of the km at about 170mph pull it up on the power and keep it gassed till the end.

I'm going to get some serious practice in this next coming year would be good to get back there, I won't be up with the top boys but would be nice to get my name on the leader board somewhere.
 
i can beat that with a faster bike AND keep it up longer too . Its not about how fast its about how long . ask my wife .
