Andy Forest was just shy...but would actually have gone faster. To get the gearing he had to run normal road tyres which were quite tall...except this meant traction was very limited even til 170-180mph lol

Probably wouldnt have done much more, but given how hairy the run was, he didnt try again as felt it too risky.
