A MOTORCYCLE racer trying to top 300mph (482kph) died after losing control and zooming off a runway at a former US air base in Limestone, Maine. Bill Warner, 44, was clocked at 458kph before he lost control, said Tim Kelly, race director for the Loring Timing Association. Warner was conscious and talking after the crash but died about an hour and 15 minutes later. Riding his modified turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa, Warner previously hit 311mph on the same course in 2011, using 2.4km of pavement, a world land speed record.
