Russ Collins retires Honda lbp Fuelet; the Sorceret;
with a victory atOCIR Winston World Finals.
Making 14 foot motorcycles disappear is no easy trick.
Making one go a quarter mile in 7.36 seconds isn't much easier. .
But thats just what Russ Collins and his Honda Top Fueler, the Sorcerer, did to
earn a victory in the seasons final NHRA drag race. And its what they've been doing
for the last six years.
The Sorcerer, like all of Russs Hondas, is a record setting Top Fu~ler. And holder
ofthe all-time record for top speed at the end ofa quarter mile.
199.55 mph.
An amazing feat that was done without the help ofany mirrors. It was done with
an engine based on Hondas original 750 cc SOHC four-cylinder design.
One that still uses standard Honda crankcases and crankshaft. The same parts
that help make your competition disappear on the street.
NoW; while it isn't customary to reveal how a Sorcerer does his tricks, we're going
to make an exception. Seeing as this was the Sorcerer's last race. And because all it
will do is prove that age-old adage.
Th~ Hondas quicker than the eye.
