Bio

Ace Riker, codename Falcon, is a former NASA test pilot and hardware store owner who flies with Matt Trakker's team. He drives the Slingshot, a white Volkswagen camper that reveals a sonic jet, and wears the Ricochet mask. Mark Halloran voices him.

Ace Riker is a former NASA test pilot who owns a hardware store. Mark Halloran voices him, in the same cast as Buddie Hawks, Sly Rax and Cliff Dagger.

His main vehicle is Slingshot, a white Volkswagen camper that splits to reveal a sonic jet. Its mask is Ricochet, listed elsewhere as Boomerang, and it fires energy boomerangs. Slingshot arrives in the cartoon in episode 48 and was one of the second-series Kenner toys, packed with his figure. In the racing season he gets Meteor, a white Grumman F-14 Tomcat stunt plane that splits into an aerial fighter and a missile tank, with the Cruise Control mask, which controls vehicle speed.

The racing season lists him among the drivers alongside Matt Trakker, Brad Turner, Calhoun Burns, Ali Bombay, Alex Sector and Boris Bushkin.
