Brad Friesner set a new G7 King track world record yesterday (or today, I can't tell for sure) on the King track In Pilsen, Czech Republic.

1.283 seconds!

There's a video of the lap on Facebook that I can't bring over here. Hopefully someone will post it up on YouTube so I can.

Congrats, Brad!

Brad has been kicking a** in CZ at this race for many years in succession.

While the the slightly lower 1.28 is awesome, I think the 1,484 lap record is way, way more impressive.

Running eight heats, all between 182-189 laps is incredible.

Being able to keep a car that is going 1.6s, running without incident, for 40 minutes straight is what separates Brad and Beuf from the rest of the pack.
