World's Fastest female motorcycle racer Valerie Thompson

World's Fastest female motorcycle racer Valerie Thompson
Valerie Thompson becomes the world’s fastest female motorcycle racer at the Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials with a 300.263 MPH average in the timed mile and a top speed of 304 MPH.

This is one of many cracks Valerie has made in the glass ceiling and she has only just begun. Thrilling to see her perspective from the cockpit of the “7” Motorcycle Streamliner.

From Banker to Racer

Scottsdale Arizona resident Valerie Thompson has set her sights on becoming the "World's Fastest Female." Thompson has risen from a top competitor in the All Harley Drag Racing Association series to become a 2-Time Land Speed Record Holder at the famed Bonneville Salt Flats. When not presenting motorcycles at Barrett-Jackson & Metro Auto Auctions, she is managing her 200+ mph motorcycle land speed racing team, or preparing to pilot a 50,000 horsepower supersonic land speed vehicle!

Valerie ran a "personal best" top speed of 209.5 mph at the premier event of the 2012 Mojave Magnum 1.5 Mile Speed Trials on June 2. Thompson became a charter member of the event's "200 MPH Club" based on her consistent 200+ mph passes. Her top speed of 209.5 mph officially makes the team's Martech Services Company S1000RR Superbike the world's fastest BMW production motorcycle in land speed racing. The VTR team will compete at a number of land speed racing events with the goal of setting multiple new records and joining Bonneville's prestigious "200 MPH Club."

Valerie Thompson just put another crack in the glass ceiling by setting a new motorcycle land speed record of 294.782 MPH.
Watch her reactions as she pilots the "7" Streamliner down the 7 mile course. Thrilling, and she's not done yet.

In 2014.....
Valerie Thompson - 2014 Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials Event. Top Speed 203.85 mph. It was a challenging week of racing on the salt this year. Weather and surface condition and other issues kept us making good passes most of the week. This year we had a 2 1/2 mile run up compared to our normal 6 mile run up.
