Laura Klock is one fast momma. That's because she recently set a land speed record on her motorcycle on the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah.
"I went a 153.9 this year," said Klock.
That's 153.9 miles per hour. A dangerous speed when you're only riding on two wheels.
"It vibrates, it wobbles, I had a pretty bad head shake this year, but it kind of made all the other things that scare me seem like nothing really so, so I had a little bit of a scary experience," said Klock.
Klock, whose dad was a stock car racer, is no stranger to speed. She works with her husband who builds custom made motorcycles in Mitchell.
"I've been riding since I was a little girl, I grew up in Wisconsin that's what we did to past the time, we always had snowmobiles, ATV's and dirt bikes so I always had parents who told me I couldn't do something like that because I'm a girl so I was always around it," said Klock.
It's advice she's now giving her two daughters. 18 year old Erika Cobb and 15 year old Karlee Cobb. Not only do they enjoy riding motorcycles too, but they also set their own land speed records this year.
"I think it's pretty cool that me and my sister are the two youngest out there and that we've done what we've done and set examples for other women who want to ride and younger people to get more into it," said Erika.
Erika hit 132 mph on her motorcycle.
"Once you get going it's not that bad there's time when I had head wobbles and one time I almost drifted off the course that's really scary, but there's nothing you can really do just kind of have to ease off the accelerator and make it through," said Erika.
Karlee clocked in at 110 mph. An excited girl, who just got her license this year, shows off the printed ticket with her national land speed record.
"It feels like you're going slow, because there's nothing by you so it feels like you're going really slow, but if you ever lifted up your head, like I kept dropping my leg off the peg you can feel the wind and it's really fast," said Karlee.
Karlee actually set two land speed records, making them the first mother, daughter, daughter combination to do that. For mom, who encourages both girls to go fast, also reminds them to be careful.
"It's a lot harder to put her out there than I thought it would be, her first pass I was just, I think I held my breath the whole time," said Laura.
"I always tell my girls and this is my philosophy too, if something doesn't feel right just slow down, we're out there to have fun not tor hurt ourselves or get killed or anything," said Laura.
But Klock thinks it's safer than other racing sports.
"It's wide open, you're not next to walls like you are at a drag strip, it's a wide open area, there's nobody racing next to you it's actually a very controled environment, besides that you're hitting pretty high speeds it's probably almost safer to be on that track than you are on the road because you don't have to worry about other people pulling out in front of you or even an animal running out in front of you because it's very controlled," said Laura.
And controlling your bike at speeds of over 100 mph takes courage and skill.
"What I do is I sit all the way down and lay my helmet on the tank so it doesn't move a lot and I hold on really tight and squeeze my arms in as tight as I can," said Erika.
"It's like putting them out there in life, you know you gotta let them go and say a prayer for them and hope everything you taught them, they're going to remember," said Laura.
As for their futures, Erika wants to go into forensic science after high school graduation. Karlee, who's only a freshman, wants to pursue a career in cosmetology or physical therapy.
She say if those don't work out, she would like to stick close to home and help build motorcycles.
Their friend Michell Mielke also set a land speed record at the Salt Flats of 102.17 mph.
