In October of
2007, Gregory Price Williams (39) a retired highly
decorated Law Enforcement Officer and former K9
Trainer became the first Afro-American in the
history of Land Speed Racing to surpass the infamous
200 MPH barrier. Gregory did so with a top speed
of 205.4 MPH in a standing mile at the Texas Mile
in Goliad, Texas. www.texasmile.comOn June, 29th
2008 Gregory and his HPC racing team pushed the
envelope further with Hyperbike Performance Centers
second edition ZX-14 nick-named “Chance”.
The ZX-14 was rebuilt from the previous platform
used on their nationally known ZX-14 “Inferno”.
All of the performance and electrical components
were enhanced along with the chassis set-up. Greg
previously ran a best speed of 203 MPH at Maxton
in 2007 and moved the bar further with a top speed
in the standing mile of 212.6 MPH.
