Thompson’s patience paid off during the World of Speed event where her BMW S1000RR was fast right out of the trailer. Six out of eight of Thompson’s passes topped the 200 mph mark. On her last run of the event, Thompson enjoyed her best speed on the Salt with a first pass at 209.85 mph and a return run of 207.71 mph, setting a new MPS-G 1000 record at 208.81 mph. The new record earned Thompson a lifetime membership in the prestigious Red Hat Club, recognizing her 200+mph performance.
