Our own UK records are pretty impressive especially the recent Woodbridge one

Also on a turbo Hayabusa Jack Frost ran 248mph with the fairing lowers off and backed it up with another 248mph IN A STANDING MILE

To take another record at Woodbridge Jack had earlier removed ALL of the fairing and ran 221mph.

Jack had made a few changes for the next run which in the same conditions should have seen him safely passed 250mph and closer to 255mph.Alas the rain came and Jack made a run for the ferry back to Ireland.

At the 1/4 mile point he was already doing 173 mph , which is stunning as this bike is no drag racer and Woodbridge no drag strip !!!

He actually hit 248mph in 20.5 seconds from starting
