This hayabuza was not turbocharged on the ice but now it is

This event is the flying kilometer, you have 1 kilometer to get your speed up and then you have 1 kilometer that they measure your average speed on and then you have a brakezone.

And the measure method is with photocells so it´s pretty safe.

here is the results from the speedweekend in funäsdalen.

I was in Funasdalen (-: but even people who raced there have never seen a timeslip for their runs or understand how the timekeeping was organized or how the windspeed was.

Not that i say that a Hayabusa can not go quicker than a Buell (-:, but what I have seen in Funasdalen was not impressing (including 2000 HP Funnycars who go 159 km/h and a Ford Transit who is now recordholder in his class with less than 80 km/h) me at all.

The idea of that event is great, but to declare records it needs to have a clear transparence how to come to the result.

On Craigs record we used two independent GPS systems and have a full documentation including onboards.  

But anyway, icespeedrecord rulez! (-:

This was the first event, it can and will be better for every time it be arranged.

The transit was john elwood that took his car when he didn´t manage to get hes bike over the finishline (no serious competition)

The Hayabusa was a average speed and what i could see you have a topspeed so it is some different record.

But the main thing is that all of the drivers and audience had a really good time

I think this could be a great event next year!
