SEemsMSNZ made a cock up, therecord is invalid as itsover a measured mile & Ohakea'srunway is only 2.4 k longtotal . All that effort & costfor nothing . SoOwen Evansin his porschestill holds it .

Isn't 2.4 klonger than a mile! So where is the problem!

Yeah, 1.602 kms to a mile, so 2.4 km equals 1.491 miles, say one-and-a-half miles.
Half a mile runup, cover the measured mile, - and then nowhere to stop, run out of road, Boom!
