Guess Proffitt’s Speed Challenge
You might remember last year on the 1st of June 2015 i announced a speed Challenge ‘Guess Proffitt’s Speed’ … the concept was pretty simple… i had 12 months to go as fast as i could! …and you guys had to guess what my top Vmax would be come the end of the 12 months.
I opened it up to all my Facebook followers and it was good to see everyone get involved.
There were some pretty high guesses and some pretty low ones…. cheers Oisín van Gelderen!!! haha

Now I i won’t lie to you, I haven’t exactly been active on the speed front… in fact i only managed one proper day and that was the day it was launched! Pretty disappointing really but it’s just not been a good year for speed and i’ve not been in the right places when it has been on.
The day it’s self wasn’t exactly the best day and for sure i still have a lot to learn but i managed a Vmax of 41.15 knots with a 6.2 SCR Simmer and a Moo custom 45 (i think) Not too bad… but i really think i can go a lot faster!
Definitely not 50knots but i have to say it still felt pretty quick… i’m keen to get the speed kit out now i’m back in the UK. i just need some wind… and with still over a month to go it’s possible i will get a few runs in!
If we don’t get any Wind, it’s looking like “Marcel Klein’ has the top prize in the bag!!
