OK. Here's the wackiest idea I could come up with for an LSR. Although I'll give Anthonyp credit for coming up with it as well in his rules post. I'm going to build the worlds' fastest engine driven unicycle. Pretty much scratchbuild. I'll be digging through the spares box this weekend to find the parts I need.

Ed (maybe I should be committed for this one)

If you wish to head in the direction of madness may I suggest a monowheel to complete the trip?

The Uno might offer some inspiration Ed, although it actually has two wheels side-by-side. Designed by an 18 year old Canadian, guess he's been at the Molson from a young age!

I knew I had seen someone build a racing unicycle before:
