On September 6th, Kevin Kilkenny, one of IGNITE’s full time touring guitar players for the past decade, riding the Cardboard Robot KX500 dirt bike, exited the timed mile at the Bonneville Salt Flats, USA at 130.418 miles per hour. He turned the bike around and ran back across the same stretch of real estate at 132.444 m.p.h. Setting a new record average of 131.431 m.p.h. and raising the AMA National 500cc MPS/P motorcycle speed record nearly ten miles an hour.

Kilkenny was racing against a record set by seven time Baja 1000 winner Steve Hengeveld and F2 Racing. Kilkenny set a new AMA national record, he was the fastest 500cc sit-on bike at the event and the bike he rode, the Cardboard Robot KX500, is the World’s Fastest Dirt Bike.
