Date: September 18th, 2018 5:59 PM Author: ultramarine tattoo The vehicle in front is doing all the work. You won't see anything except the car in front of you.

Date: September 18th, 2018 6:02 PM Author: ultramarine tattoo Air resistance is what limits your top speed. The vehicle in front channels the air around her vastly reducing her air restance. The feat is more about setting up the bike and the draft vehicle than any athletic performance. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4080694&forum_id=2#36835177) |

Date: September 18th, 2018 6:05 PM Author: Seedy Abusive State Doctorate (from the article)
Pursuing the motor paced record is a dangerous pastime given the high speeds involved, as well as the proximity to a souped-up vehicle. Rompelberg, the previous record holder, broke 24 bones in one of his first attempts to break the record after his pace car began fishtailing at 140 mph, flinging him out of the slipstream and into the air. |

Mueller-Korenek set a women's speed record of 147 mph in 2016. It took her two years to return to the salt flats to attempt to best the men's record, in part because of a string of setbacks in 2017: a crash that broke a shoulder blade and a rib, as well as an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound to the leg. |
