Went to a Nitro Harley race a few years ago. Absolutely bonkers seeing those madmen run 7 second quarters. Five seconds is insane.

Nope. I'm a solid 0/10 on that.

How can you even mentally handle that? Your brain is probably smashed against the back of your skull.

TIL that in 2013 the fastest prostock racer in Europe was an eighteen year-old woman running 6 second quarters. My god.

I’m sorry that I’m the pedantic asshole this time, but I differentiate between a six-second quarter mile and a quarter mile “in the sixes”; and a 6.99x is more the latter description than the former, to me.

Still, stupid fast, and a great achievement for her. I’d end up dead if I so much as touched a bike like that.

Okay, given the YouTube clip of the engine grenading on a drag bike and sending a piston near (through? Can’t remember. ) the rider’s arm-- even if I: knew how to ride, had experience drag racing, and wanted to chase a record, there’s not enough money in the world for me to switch places with this guy.

i remember that video. didnt go through or anything. it smacked the tank up into his chest and winded the fuck out of the poor guy.

and yes, in this case, that piston is heading STRAIGHT for the family jewels.


ouch.

There’s one where it definitely goes through the guys forearm. At the very least it takes his glove off.

That’s a very FP comment.

Was it on a KTM? I think Jaska is just sponsored by them. He set the previously record last year and the bike and engine were completely built by his team. Apparently they also sell these fucking beasts.

I wonder if it will fit in my Honda?
