The team from The Ohio State University finished third in yesterday's TT Zero race. Our rider started last and passed all but the top two riders before he had issues with the motor controller. He still managed to stay close enough to the bike that started fourth to finish ahead on time. This is the culmination of almost three years of blood, sweat and tears. I am so proud of the students who have put their all into making the bike the best we knew how. What a wild ride it has been!

I watch these cats rolling thru the street and wickin' the slight curves 'round the buildings - going 150 - maybe 170mph

I mean it is insane the mental aptitude these guys have to stay that focused for such a long time...I am utterly speechless

watching it other then a head wag and a "oh my" utterance or "wow".


Okay ....."WOW"

192+ through the speed trap at Sulby on the big bikes...

I admire the courage of the riders, there is no way in hell I would even think about trying that.

I agree!
I don't know how they go that fast for that long on that course and make it to the finish line. You can't afford to screw up once.
