Thew goes for World Record

On April 11th at the Mid-American Motorplex, Thew from 10-96 will attempt to bring the Guiness World Record Stoppie to the U.S.

The Event: Friday, April 11th from 9am-3pm, I'll be on the newly resurfaced 1/4 mile track setting a new Guiness World Record for Longest Stoppie. From 4 till close I'll be hanging at Tim O'neill's Honda / Suzuki in Counsil Bluffs, Iowa.
Saturday, April 12th I'll be at the track hanging out and doing shows all day. At 4pm I'll be at Tim O'neill's doing promotions and hanging out. Sometime around 6, we're all going riding. Where to, no idea. When we're done riding American Dream Bar is having a big party / promotion with the track that we're all going to.

The Sponsors: Without these people, this wouldn't be happening.
Tim O'Neill's Honda / Suzuki
Teknic Leathers
Feroda Brakes
XSBA
Pirelli Tires
Stedman Motorsports
American Dream Bar

Lastly, I would like to thank Ken Abbott from XSBA for putting this all together.

The current record is held by Craig Jones, who pulled a 225 metre stoppie on a standard Buell Lightning

Other records that may be of interest...

Fastest wheelie over one kilometre: Dodge @ 136.9 mph ('Busa) [1]
Fastest run while sat backwards: Dave Coatse @ 151.7 mph (R1) [2]
Fastest run two-up while both sat backwards: Dave & Sandra Coatse @ 137.6 mph (R1) [2]

[1] The front wheel must be airbourne for the entire kilometre
[2] The average speed over a one kilometre run (not including run-up or braking)

To break the record you'd need calibrated timing gear, some unimpeachable officials to do that timing and somewhere safe to do it. The record's judged on your speed through the timing lights, but it has to be up for the entire kilometre. The first time Dodge went for it, he flipped at 127mph

The outright speed wheelie record's held be a guy from Stockholm. I can't remember his name or the exact speed, but it's just over 200mph on a turbo 'Busa IIRC. He's got a video out called Ghost Rider, where he screams through the rush hour traffic of Stockholm at speeds up to 190mph - including lane splitting at the same speed. He ain't gonna live for very long...

So, the World Record attempts will be going on Friday? Is that right?

Hell that's only just over an hours drive for me. I'll have to get my butt over there. Sounds great.
