Geoff Pollard finally joined the MTC 5 Second club Friday 13th. at the AMA Dragbike World Finals in Valdosta Georgia.

Round 1 qualifying Friday was a 5:963 @ 232.33 and he lowered that on Saturday to 5:932 @ 241.88.Those numbers reset the Canadian records the Pollards held previously with this bike and move Geoff up to 5th. for ET and 4th. for MPH on the world wide list of quickest/fastest 1/4 mile dragbikes.

Even 5 sec in the 1/8 mile is amazing. 5 sec in the 1/4 is rocket power.
321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.

1/4 mile baby. AMA did make it 1000ft. at US 131 Martin in July for safety reasons -it's a bit short on the shutoff. I can understand 1/8 and 1/4 but will never figure out 1000ft. Prefer 1/8th. over 1000 ft., so do Geoff & Greg .
