This past March one of our exotic car club members captured this raw video footage of me ryding the Spyder at the brand new Shelton race track [located in Washington state] with the Ferrari, Porsche and Lotus car clubs - it was a wonderful experience to try this on the Spyder instead of the usual cage. On the main straight, the Spyder reached 120 mph and easily could've kept going, but the darn Ferraris were in the way on our parade hot laps. ;)

Spyder can be seen entering video from the right beginning at the 11 sec mark through 22 sec mark.

Note to self: Need a sway bar for those fast corners! :trike:

Depending on the price and the scheduling, you should send me an invite for the next time this happens. :-)

Next time pop the bags off for improved aerodynamics, less weight and more speed! :2thumbs:

He essentially had it maxed out, when mine was stock, I have had it to 123 twice, going down hill, with a tail wind, tucked in behind my windshield. Haven't maxed it since putting my 2bros JBP and exhaust and my KewlMetal Air Box on it, but when I do, we shall see what, if anything it does.
