I never saw that article back in January '14, thanks for posting Tricky.

As you can see Mike Akatiff the bill would heve been 400,000 GBP which is over $600,000. Presume they were planning on renting Bonneville for a few weeks to get James' up to speed after trying the rough concrete of Bruntingthorpe. Not sure now where they would have spent all that sum.

Given Guy Martin had a reasonable size accident recently I'd have as many doubts about his fitness to drive as the Salts to drive on?
To be honest do we think they've got enough power to run 400mph? 1000bhp doesn't sound sufficient to me but not an expert...

In  2006 he made a one way pass of 355.303 mph with around 275 hp before losing front tire. which was about a third of the hp of the other bikes.

Bringing this old thread to the top and crossing my fingers for the Ack Attack team and all the racers down in Bolivia.
