Valerie Thompson is the fastest female motorcycle racer on the planet with a record of 328.467 mph on the famed BUB 7 Streamliner motorcycle. She won’t rest until she breaks 400 mph speed – the fastest on a motorcycle for a man or woman.
Thompson shares an emotional recollection of her 2018 crash in Australia with host Amanda Busick as her team searched for reasons why the accident happened. Luckily, Thompson walked away from the crash with minor injuries and has taken the time to rebuild her bike and her nerve to get back on and go for it. She’ll do just that in August. We have no doubt she’ll nail it.
Look for Thompson and her team’s story in an upcoming documentary “Rockets and Titans” coming out in movie theaters. There won’t be a dry eye in the house.
