Motorcycle SUPERSHOW
FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
Canadian Team Looks to Shatter Land Speed Record in August 2008
- Motorcycle SUPERSHOW Sponsors Attempt to Break 50 Year Record -
Monday, December 17, 2007 (Toronto, Canada) - More than 50 years ago,
William Hertz rode a supercharged NSU streamlined machine into history
as he set the land speed record for 500cc motorcycles at 339km/h. To
this day that record has not been broken - despite numerous attempts -
but one Canadian team plans to change that this coming August at the
Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. See this amazing vehicle, the team that
created it and the rider who plans to make history in it during the
North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW January 4 - 6, 2008 at
the Toronto International Centre.
Bar Hodgson, Producer of the Motorcycle SUPERSHOW, former Drag Racing
Champion and Road Racer, will be the rider for 2008 at Bonneville Speed
Week in August, attempting to break the record by exceeding 339km /h.
The streamliner will carry the SUPERSHOW name and a large Canadian
contingent is expected to make the trip to cheer on the 70 year old
pilot.
The Windsor-based Bob Williams Team Arrow Racing is a six year veteran
of the Bonneville Salt Flat record runs and holds the World Record for
650cc motorcycles at 339.134km/h. In 2006, the Team attempted to break
the 500cc record and had an amazing one way run of more than 360km/h,
however the bike unfortunately suffered a blown tire on the way back.
Breaking the top speed requires a two way run, but the experience proved
to Team Arrow Racing that the record is just within their reach.
Established in 1976, the SUPERSHOW is North America's largest consumer
motorcycle show. Produced by Bar Hodgson Productions Inc, the SUPERSHOW
is dedicated to presenting the finest the motorcycle industry has to
offer for every type of motorcycle enthusiast, in Seven Halls of the
International Centre.
