Ford Quality Checked Certified Pre-owned backed Chris Carr, the five-time defending AMA Ford Quality Checked Flat Track Champion, re-wrote the record books today at the FIM/AMA Sports International Motorcycle Speed Trials by BUB by running a two pass 350.8 mph average which included a mind-blowing 354 mph pass in the Denis Manning-designed BUB streamliner. “Today was absolutely unbelievable,” said an elated Carr. “BUB Enterprises, the Ford Quality Checked Certified Pre-owned program and I made history today. And more amazing than that is this bike still has a lot left in ‘er. I can’t wait to get back out there again if need be for another couple passes.” Carr left the Bonneville Salt Flats (Utah) staging area today, SPEED helicopters with TV cameras mounted on them in tow, and dialed the Ford Quality Checked-backed BUB streamliner up to 354 mph shattering the previous record set this past Sunday on the opening day of the FIM/AMA Sports International Motorcycle Speed Trials by BUB. The BUB/Ford QC team then re-grouped and got Carr back out well within the two hour limit, and his second pass was recorded at 346 mph, giving him a two run average speed of 350.8 mph. “We were standing there watching Chris go by and just couldn’t believe it,” said Ford Quality Checked Program Manger Mike Dennis. “Chris came out and smoked everybody.” Dennis said that Carr, the seven-time AMA Ford Quality Checked Flat Track Champion, was also recognized by the rest of the competitors and given a nice round of applause at the pre-race riders meeting.
