Ryan Schnitz, riding HTP's Pro Street bike at Maryland track ran a 6.907 1/4 @ 203.06 mph which has totally smashed the original world record of 7.09 seconds.
For approximately a decade now, the Pro Street class has been dominated by turbo bikes, to the total exclusion of nitrous bikes being raced in the class, until Cecil Towner of HTP Performance took up the challenge a couple of years ago.
To give the nitrous bikes a bit of a fighting chance, the class rules were gradually tilted in favour of nitrous bikes and Cecil recognised that with the benefit of the advanced nitrous technology available from WON, he could exploit these latest rules to his advantage.
It's long been claimed that no Pro Street bike (even a turbo bike) could ever run in the 6s, least of all a nitrous assisted bike but despite this awesome time of 6.90 and as hard as it will be for most people to accept, Cecil is still just scratching the surface of what he'll be able to achieve using WON assist, because whatever he runs using pulsed technology, both he and WON know he will run much quicker when he eventually finds time to upgrade to a REVO system.
Congratulations To Ryan, Cecil @ HTP Performance and the whole team for this amazing result.
