Flat Out The Race for the Motorcycle World Land Speed Record

Some records are made to be broken. Others are more difficult to surpass. Some records stand for a lifetime. And sometimes the achievement of a lifetime is surpassed in days. For daredevil racer Rocky Robinson, breaking the motorcycle land speed record was a goal he would never give up. In 2006, he and AMA flat-track champion Chris Carr engaged in a dogfight over breaking the ultimate two-wheel record. It was a one-of-a kind year at Bonneville not likely to be repeated, with unique characters, passions, and thrills. Through trial and error, mechanical failure, and spectacular crashes, Rocky describes both the challenges and pride behind piloting a streamliner well past the speed of sound and into the record books. With behind-the-scenes looks at the engineering behind the motorcycles, the business of sponsors and team owners, and more, Flat Outis an intimate, honest, and thrilling story for any speed freak.Robinson, Rocky is the author of 'Flat Out The Race for the Motorcycle World Land Speed Record', published 2007 under ISBN 9780760331637 and ISBN 0760331634.
