In the late seventies Rocky Robinson participated in the Camel Pro Series as a class "C" expert, competing against future champions like Ricky Graham and Doug Chandler. In the eighties he graduated to Speedway racing and alcohol-burning, brakeless machines; he won the Napa Wine Cup Championship in 1989 as well as the overall Northern California Speedway Championship that same year. Rocky then became involved in Land Speed Racing where he rode Tenacious II, a world class streamlined motorcycle built by Denis Manning. At the famed Bonneville Salt Flats after several attempts, Rocky was able to reach a top speed of 291 mph under perfect conditions. It was all the machine had. After that, the team tried their luck down under. At Lake Gairdner in Australia, coasting to a finish on an injured bike, Rocky timed out at 289 mph, which still stands as the fastest pass on two wheels ever recorded in Australia. For 2006, Rocky teamed up with Mike Akatiff and the crew behind the Ack Attack Special, a twin engine turbocharged Suzuki Hyabusa. See less
