Guy Martin To Attempt Wall Of Death Speed Record
Tonight, Guy Martin will attempt to set a new Wall of Death speed record on an enormous – 120-foot-diameter – track specially constructed for the event. For the last year, Martin has been in training under the watchful eye of Wall of Death rider extraordinaire, Ken Fox. The attempt is being aired live in England. Speeds upwards of 100 mph have been talked about, but science says the G-forces would be too much to withstand. For us here in the US, we’ll have to wait until reports filter out from event. Hopefully a video of the event will be released.
