F.F.Giannini
readies Dave Meyer at the starting line while the ECTA techs his minimoto.
Dave Meyer
of Virginia Beach, VA makes it official. The new land speed record for a pocketbike
is 63.888MPH. Riding a 50cc minimoto built by F.F.Giannini of Giannini Racing
with a 50cc custom barrel designed by Trevor Sellars of the United Kingdom
and special porting work by Scotty Finlay breaks the existing record and
goes over the 55MPH mark. The new engine design which included a Giannini
Racing PVL digital ignition and a Giannini Racing custom built cylinder-head
ran flawlessly through multiple runs down the one mile airport runway under
the guidance of the ECTA personnel.
Dateline: September 28th, 2003
