Saturday saw the Easter edition of the Saldanha 800m top end runs return to a sunny Saldanha airstrip. Spectators weren’t disappointed with a record run of 256km/h by a twin turbo XR8 Sierra, closely followed by a 600kw supercharged Lumina pickup crossing the line at a respectable 252km/h. The highest speed recorded by a bike was by a Hayabusa doing 277km/h. The danger of these types of events was made all too apparent when one of the bikers missed the breaking point and put her bike down at speed, fortunately she was only slightly injured and was only taken to hospital for a checkup. Big up to the guys from West Coast Racing (www.westcoastracing.co.za) for upping their game and pulling off an awesome event.
