I rang Holeshot Racing in the UK on Tuesday to talk to Jack Frost about some parts.
Some bloke at his work shop said he was out on his bike for the day and to call back tomorrow.
I remember thinking "geez I bet HIS bike is a good-un"
So I called back on Wednesday and managed to speak to Jack.
Apparently, "being out on his bike" actually translates to spending the last three days making an attempt on the british land speed record on his 700hp (fuck me!!!) Turbo Hayabusa.
He said he recorded 257mph one way, which I think was above the record, but couldn't stay within the required percentage on his return run to take the record home, but was apparently happy as he was really hoping to just crack 250 at this stage....ahem.
He also took out my "Coolest Bloke I've Spoken to This Week Award" when I said to him "700 horsepower !!! That must be fun to play with!" and he coolly replied with "yeah mate, it's orright"
