Quality of salt permitting, the Top 1 Ack Attack team will compete at the world famous Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials, AMA Land Speed Grand Championship, in Utah on August 29 to September 3, 2015. Mike Akatiff, the engineer who built the Ack Attack, and his crew are excited to get back out on the Bonneville Salt Flats to be the first motorcycle to break the 400 mph speed barrier (their current LSR record is 376 mph) The streamliner motorcycle is powered by two turbocharged Suzuki Hayabusa engines, which generate a thousand horsepower, and Mickey Thompson LSR tires. Motion Systems’ ball drive actuators are used to deploy and retract “training wheels” for the start and end of the record setting runs and rear stabilizing flaps to provide safety during the coast down period at the end of the run.
