Motorcycle Land-Speed Record

Pending ratification, the AMA has announced that the BUB Racing Team has set a new world and national land-speed record of 367.382 mph for a motorcycle in the measured mile. The record was set at the Bonneville Salt Flats with Chris Carr at the helm of the BUB Seven Streamliner. Known more for his prowess as a seven-time Grand National Flat Track Champion Carr has been working with the BUB team since 2006. Dennis Manning is the owner, designer and builder of the BUB Seven Streamliner, and he’s been chasing the outright land-speed record for over forty years.
