How fast can a normal person riding a normal-style bike with modified gears go across the salt flats?

I feel like it's obvious that capability would be measured with a fixed level of user input on a fixed course/dynamo.

When you're drafting a dragster so close you're partly inside it I'm going to go ahead and say that doesn't count for my question.

Certainly crazy circumstances. But, it's just a bicycle.

It's a bicycle that doesn't have to deal with air resistance, which sidesteps much of my question.
