"Loon Racing 09"
One Man and his Twist & Go Scooter against the World on a 1/4 mile Drag Strip.
Once again 2008 had its ups and downs, the very 1st event in 2008 I managed to find 4mph and recorded a personal best of 101mph in 12.5 seconds, which unfortunately couldn't be beaten no matter how much we tried.
We traveled to Germany to take part in the Scooter Centre Kolne's Max Speed Festival in August which was an event on its own. There were in excess of 100 scooters of all shapes and sizes taking part in an up hill sprint. Video's can be seen by following the Max Speed Fest links in the left hand column. In video 1 you can see me pass the finish line but don't blink, you'll miss it.
Thanks for looking.
Pete & all at Loon Racing.
