1952 Harley-Davidson / Billy Huber Speedway Record





America's greatest speedway record held by Harley-Davidson.

Langhorne 100-Miler, stage for motorcycling's outstanding achievement!

Again on Langhorne's one-mile dirt speedway, Harley-Davidson riders set another brilliant record for speed and stamina. Leading a string of eight Harley-Davidson speedsters across the finish line, Billy Huber completed the 100 grueling laps in 66 minutes, 17.30 seconds, an average of 90.51 miles per hour. Here is a remarkable record for one-mile dirt tracks made under A.M.A. regulations...a speed record that stands among the world's best! Fastest previous A.M.A. record was the 87.09 mph clocked by Jimmy Chann on a Harley-Davidson at the Langhorne speedway in 1949. Now, Huber's better-than-90 miles per hour set last Labor Day provides a fitting climax to the sparkling records established over the years by Harley-Davidson. And these same outstanding qualities of performance together with unmatched riding comfort are built into every model of the complete Harley-Davidson line. See these American-made beauties today at your nearest Harley-Davidson dealer.
