Two world record attempts to take place at the Charlotte Diesel Super Show
Visitors attending
the 2012 Charlotte Diesel Super Show, Oct 5-6, at the zMax Dragway, in Concord,
NC, will have the unique opportunity to see Aaron’s Outdoor monster truck
attempt a world speed record and Jesse Toler attempt a world stoppie record.
Jesse
Toler, a professional sports bike
freestyle rider for over 9 years, will need to roll over 1000 ft at speeds of over
100 mph to beat the stoppie record. A stoppie happens when traveling at a high rate of speed
and using the front brakes of the motorcycle to lift the rear of the bike and
traveling to the vertical balance point on only the front tire.
Randy Moore, driver of the Aaron’s Outdoor
monster truck will try to break his own record of 96.80 miles per hour. When breaking
the record earlier this year, he actually flamed out the engine prior to
finishing the run, so he is optimistic that he’ll be able to again set a new
record.
Aaron’s
Outdoor monster truck will make practice runs on Friday at 6:30 p.m. and
Saturday at 1:15 p.m and attempt to break the record at 4:45 p.m. Jesse Toler
will perform two stunt demonstrations on Friday at 1:00 and 3:00 p.m. and
Saturday at 10:00 a.m. He will attempt the world stoppie record on Saturday at 3:30
p.m..
