Nope!... Wrong!.... Michael Czysz is also out there and made a pass in the 159 range... Hatfield is shooting his mouth off to gain attention knowing he may potentially loose it any second now...

BREAKING: This week the Lightning Motors team is on the Bonneville Salt Flats for the yearly time trials, and on their first time run, with a speed of 162 miles/hr, they have set the AMA and FIM land speed record for electric motorcycles. They are making this speed attempt fresh from winning the TTXGP North American series two weeks ago at Virginia International Raceway.

159 is still less than 162mph
This time around it is AMA and FIM accredited.

the hammer is about to drive the screw into Harfield

I should note that they typically let the slower vehicle go first in the competition, so they can have a chance to hold the record, even if it is just for a few minutes. I should also note that it isn't an official world record until you do it twice in the same event. I think this may be what Kent was referring to when he mentioned that Michael Czysz ran 159. The average of two runs is the record in LSR, not just the fastest run. I have no information other than what I read here, but it is quite possible that Michael Czysz is in a better position to get the better average speed for two runs, but that is complete speculation.
It is definitely jumping the gun to announce a world record before you back it up with the second run. It isn't a world record, just bragging rights.
