Elmer Trett was a drag bike legend, often called the Don Garlits of motorcycle drag racing. He was the first rider to break 200, 210, 220, 230, and 235 miles per hour, earning a Guinness World Record. The only motorcyclist in NHRA’s 50 Greatest Racers list, Trett built his own bikes and helped shape Top Fuel drag racing history. #legend #dragracing #legends #history | Insect Racing
