Well a couple weeks ago there was a Car/Motorcycle/Airplane show in Osceola WI with air show and a radar run. I've never done this, nor have I ever been involved with anything like it before so I didn't know what to expect. You get a 1/4 mile on the runway to go as fast as you could. There was a sheriff at the end with his radar gun. The run was open to anyone and any vehicle with $25 and the first 100 signed up. The vehicles ranged from random motorcycles, a couple Ford GT's, a Lamborghini Gallardo, two sport quad ATVs, a pimped out 70's van, and huge slew of old and new muscle cars including a 1000 horsepower Stingray Corvette. Pretty awesome to see the variety of cars running down the runway. So I entered my Stryker. It's bone stock other than a few cosmetic mods. I managed 92 mph according to the gun. I hit the rev limiter in 2nd, so I know that affected my overall speed a little. As I passed the finish line I thought I saw 104 mph on the speedo, so 92 mph is believable. Not the fastest one there, but definitely fun and would recommend anyone that can do this, to do it.
The 1000 horse vette took first at 141 mph. Some motorcycle took 2nd at 138 mph and the guy I went with had a Kawasaki ZX14 and got 3rd at 134 mph. Here are a couple pics.
