Note
Recumbent Bike geek alert- at the Sebrig 12 and 24hr road races 'bents are legal, and they dominated. Most of these do not have fairings, just aero positions and good engines.
"Probably the most impressive performance was from Bacchetta’s Jacquie Hafner who completed 254.7 miles in the 12 Hour category. She was followed very closely by Maria Parker of Cruzbike with 246.9 miles. Both ladies were well over the previous Sebring record for that class. Sandy Earl also powered her Carbent to a very impressive 442.6 miles in the 24 Hour category. This also completely obliterated her own previous women’s 24 hour record.
On the men’s side John Schlitter of Bacchetta set a personal best with 492.2 miles to take the overall mileage crown for this year’s event. Kent Polk and Troy Timmons (also on Bacchettas) followed up with 484.7 and 469.2 miles respectively. Doyce Johnson led the 12 Hour race with 258.1 miles on a socked Easy Racers Ti-Rush. " (This one has a front fairing and a fabric body.)
