It’s
been quite a year already. Rocky is still recovering from an ACL reconstruction
surgery in which they harvested his own hamstring to replace his severed ACL in
his left knee. The surgery was May 29th, and his surgeon says full
recovery is expected to take anywhere from 9 months to a year. With Mike Cook’s
Bonneville Shootout running Sept. 12th through the 16th, rehab
has gone into double time! (Go here to learn more about this event: http://landspeedevents.com/blog/ )
As
mentioned on the HOME page, the three all-time world’s fastest motorcycles will
be competing head to head this year trying to reach the milestone of that first
official 400 mph run. There are several British teams poised to do battle in
2014. Two of them are running turbine power, while the third, the Angelic
Bulldog team, will be running a piston powered, wheel driven streamliner mating
two Honda Blackbird engines cleverly linked together to a single transmission.
While the Brits are all poised to battle to be the first to reach 400,
It is our goal
to reach that milestone in 2013 in the all Yank Shootout.
Something
new and fun was recently developed and released from Top 1 Oil, our team’s
major sponsor. Rocky helped with development and even did the narration. Introducing
Top 1’s
Ack Attack The Game You
can download the App to your IPad from ITunes or go to http://www.top1oil.com/ and click on IPAD
App. The game is a true simulation of what it’s like to drive the twin-engine
turbocharged Ack Attack streamliner! From push off, through the gears, even
deploying the parachute at the end of the run, it is the most realistic LSR
simulation game out there.
See if you can
beat Rocky’s 2 way FIM record of 376 mph, or try to top his one way top speed of 394 mph! In the
future we’ll add a Ack Attack Wall of Fame for gamers who’ve beat Rocky’s best
run. Just send us an email with your name and a digital image of the game
showing your top speed. Enjoy the ride…
