  1. Ellen van Vugt missed the second timing tape when on course for a possible record speed.
  2. Hans Wessels went into a speed wobble about 1 km before the traps, when travelling at around 67 mph. He was unable to keep things pointing in the right direction and slid off into the brush, cracking the bike's windscreen and suffering a certain quantity of scrapes and bruises from the impact and a flailing leg.

New Womens' World Record Set Friday Night!

Whether Ellen van Vugt's speed for Thursday is ratified or not, she has still set a new record this week, covering the flying 200m in 6.79 seconds, for a speed of 65.89 mph, with legal wind measured by the IHPVA's equipment. Congratulations to Ellen, bike builder Steve Nash and bike owner Joe Kochanowski.

Saterday 18 september

There were no races on Saturday. Rain Showers in morning cancelled the criterium. It was too cold and wet to run on HWY 305 in the evening.
