Perry Watkins has done it again! On 5 September 2010, FastFood, his nitrous oxide-injected V8 dining table, broke the record for the fastest furniture.
At Santa Pod raceway on Sunday, FastFood did two officially timed runs; the first timed at 181,5 km/h and the second at 184,8, giving a new world record time of 183,1 km/h.
These speeds are an average speed over a 500 m measured track, not a top speed. The terminal speed at the end of the run was in excess of 209 km/h.
