#Schuberth ambassador Valerie Thompson (Valerie Thompson Fan Page), set her 7th land speed record on her CTEK sponsored #BMW S 1000 RR during the Utah Salt Flats Racing Association’s 28th Annual World of Speed event September 6 -9 at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Wendover Utah. Val has been in Utah for a month to compete in the three most prestigious land speed racing events held at the famed Salt Flats, including Speed Week, the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials and World of Speed. Speed Week was canceled due to heavy rains. Weather and track conditions during the Motorcycle Speed Trials prevented Thompson from setting a new record despite making a strong 203.77 mph pass. Thompson’s patience paid off during the World of Speed event where her BMW Double R was fast right out of the trailer. Six out of eight of Thompson’s passes were over 200 mph. On her last run of the event, Thompson enjoyed her best speed on the salt with a first pass at 209.85 mph and a return run of 207.71 mph, setting a new MPS-G 1000 record at 208.81 mph. The new record earned Thompson life- time membership in the prestigious Red Hat Club, recognizing her 200+ mph performance. CONGRATULATIONS VALERIE! Your Schuberth North America family is so proud of you!
