The following speed was sent to me by
Toronado a few days ago in PM. We scheduled it to be released today.
Today is, as you know, the Club's birthday. And we thought we should celebrate it properly. The Club has been overshadowed by the name at the top of the Leaderboard for far too long now, a name that could not be removed for any of the reasons we hated it - the run followed all the rules, it was legitimate, and the person posting it is irrelevant. Despite this, I have always wanted it taken from the top of our Leaderboard.
I agreed months ago that as soon as the speed was beaten, it would be removed completely. I was just waiting for the day when it became possible.
Well, what better day than today...
Here is a photo of Toronado's run of
369.91mph.
As we all know, a photo is nowhere near enough to prove something like this. Below is the YouTube linkage to a video of the run, with multiple frontwheel close-ups at key points of the run.
I have scrutinised every inch of this video, and I am certain that it is legitimate. Perhaps even more clearly so than the speed it will now replace.
