A record is a record, but OK, what about El-Mirage?
And consider Bonneville is five times longer.

  John 256 was a one way,  if you guys want to compare Maxton
  records you gotta at least compare them to other one way runs
  even exit speeds which is what Maxton speeds are :)

amazing run. A new track record for Rich Yancyandteam, 250 MPH. On one pass
they had a 253 MPH exit speed. Is that notthefastest record ever for a sit on
bike? From the tower, where I was, itwasaccelerating so fast it looked like a
bullet heading for me.Oh, trans problems kept Regan, in Turks Berkley, from
entering the TwoClub,but she still ran a 193 MPH with no first gear.
