The North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW got some important recognition in the November 2009 issue of Classic Bike Magazine, the largest selling motorcycle magazine on classic bikes in the world. Titled 'The Empire Issue', in a large feature section after covering the best parts suppliers, racers, etc. from all over what used to be called the British Empire, they ended the section with "The Best Events in the Commonwealth". Mentioning events from such commonwealth countries as New Zealand, Australia, South America, and India, they picked the North American International Motorcycle SUPERSHOW, January 15, 16, 17, 2010, in Toronto, Canada as the top commonwealth event to attend from the Americas. SUPERSHOW Producer, Bar Hodgson, considers this one of the greatest compliments bestowed on the SUPERSHOW. The November issue of Classic Bike is on newsstands now.

The SUPERSHOW / Team Arrow racing land speed streamliner has returned from the Bonneville Salt Flats and unfortunately the world record attempt was not a success. According to this year's pilot, Dave Lloyd, they encountered an electronic shifter malfunction and had to abort the run. There was not enough time left in the event to repair the problem and attempt another run so the streamliner will have to wait another year to try again.
