200+mph Rocket Bike

[Mr Trailer Man]

Just thought i'd post the video i did from the weekend at Santa Pod

I've seen this bike a few times now, but it still amazes me how quick it is

Apologies for the poor quality and the long wait

That's what i thought at first, so i emailed one of the guys at Santa Pod and he came back with this:

This is quite an astounding coincidence. This video is of Saturday's run. If you look at the timing data, Eric's Reaction Time on that run was 5.4881, and his ET was 5.4883. The scoreboard was showing Eric's RT until he got to the finish line, but as the scoreboard only shows three decimal places it was displaying 5.488. And then when Eric got to the finish line it showed his ET to three decimal places, which was 5.488!
