One of the many bike riders burns rubber on the line. (0596927)

THREE records were broken in the latest round of the Vazon sprint meetings on Saturday afternoon. More than 70 racers took part on a mixture of two and four wheels and treated the sizeable crowd to an afternoon of entertainment.

The fastest over the quarter-mile course was big bike rider Paul Price in the 751cc and over section. Riding his Peter Price Builders Hayabusa, he set a best of 10.32sec. on his final run, crossing the line at a hairy 143mph.

In terms of the records, all three were broken by the current holders. Mark Stanford and Tim Torode both improved their times in their cars, while Jeremy Mann improved his scooter mark on his second run out of six.

One of the youngest competitors of the day was Robert Stanford, who came runner-up in his class, while driving a Fort Escort. Stanford, who celebrates his 18th birthday in a few days’ time, feels that motor racing is a sport for all ages.
