In
October of 2007 cyclists from around the world will gather on SR305
outside of Battle Mountain, Nevada for the 8th consecutive year to race
on one of the straightest, flattest, and smoothest surfaces in the
world. The 4,619ft (1,408m) altitude road allows riders an acceleration
zone of over 4 miles, enabling them to reach their maximum velocity
before being timed over a 200 meter distance.
Current WHPSC Records:
In
2002, Sam Whittingham broke the world speed
record for the third year in a row by going 81.00 MPH!
In 2005, Lisa Vetterlein set a new Women's world speed record, with a
speed of 66.58 MPH.
In 2006, Damjan Zabovnik broke the European speed
record by going 74.006 MPH facing backwards!
The WHPSC is the setting for the record
of "World's Fastest Human propelled by their own power", and
all records set are sanctioned by the
IHPVA. Pre-Event Coordinators /
