Ack Attack motorcycle streamliner with Rocky Robinson at the 
handlebars just made the first pass of an FIM record attempt.  Safe 
run, Entry speed of timed sector, 360 and change.  Exit speed 
352.  Average for km and mile, both over 359.  Fastest one-way pass 
for a motorcycle ever.

Rocky backed out because the canopy opened slightly on one side in 
the middle of the timed section.  Team states that it shouldn't be a 
problem...may tape that side for the return.

They've got 2 hours for the turnaround as opposed to FIA's 1 hour for "cars."

More Same Wheeler and E-Z-Hook are planning a run this morning as are 
Pteet and Maine in Speed Demon which set a record yesterday of 
251.something.  They changed gears and are shooting for 260 today.
