Robinson Shatters Motorcycle Speed Record, Again

Grass Valley racer Rocky Robinson once again owns the motorcycle world land speed record, clocking a speed of 376.363 miles per hour at Loctite Land Speed Shootout at the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Robinson's record run in the Top 1 Ack Attack, which included a new top speed mark of 394 mph, shattered the previous mark of 367.382, set by Chris Carr in the Denis Manning-owned "Seven" streamliner last fall. Manning owns BUB Enterprises, Inc., based in Grass Valley.

Update. A post at flattrack.com indicated that Rocky's exit speed at the end of the mile was 394 MPH, and still climbing. The event was Cook's Loctite Land Speed Shootout. The record (pending FIM ratification) was set on Saturday.
