Holy crap. Did that MPH gauge say 175? Surely that was KPH...
Wow, titanium balls right there.
Nope, MPH. Those guys have insane reflexes. If you watch at 2:00 or so, you see a bike lift on a rise and start being squirrelly. The rider gets it back under control in 2 seconds and barely lifts the throttle.
having done over 180 in a straight line on a bike, i dont think i want to be corner carving at that speed. that race is nuts.
My god, it sounds like a swarm of locusts are coming.
.... those guys are miliseconds from becoming pink mist at any given time.
On average more the 2 a year.200+ racers have died in that race's history.

I'm beginning to think the US is the only place in the world where the public doesn't stand on the course of major motorsport events. 'Probably the overabundance of lawyers here.
I just find it hard that they do this on streets and not a track.OVER 195 mph a lot of the time on city streets.Thats just nuts.Look how close the walls and houses are to them.I went thru a few more of the videos of them racing in the rain at the same speeds.
