Currently Alp Racing & Design holds ten SCTA records and three AMA national records.
All of the following records were attained with a 650cc pre-unit Triumph engine / gearbox combo on a Alp R/D made Class "A" (Special construction) rigid frame and a Class "M" (Modified Production) original Triumph Pre Unit rigid frame.

* The 650 A-PF “Special Construction – Pushrod Fuel Engine” class record of 175.625 MPH was achieved naturally aspirated, open / without a fairing.
This is the fastest 650cc pushrod engine, sit-on motorcycle in the history of land speed racing built by Alp Sungurtekin. The pre unit Triumph is currently faster than all of the same class 750cc and 1000cc motorcycles (see records chart next).
