LOL, in the first video, they were talking about exceeding 200 mph with the rail dragsters. I think it's up to over 340mph now in the quarter mile.
Holy cow...you just point and pray!

I have great memories of racing ( motocross ) on a Suzuki TM 250, in Japan, 1973-75.
Stationed at a U.S.N. Hospital, i traveled to AF bases ,where they had motocross tracks....Atsugi, Misawa, & Tachikawa if I remember correctly.
I had too much fun racing..brought the TM back to San Diego, sold it to the pastor that married my Wife & I. Bought a new '77 RM370 that
I never raced in another organized event, but had lots of fun riding in & around the San Diego area.. inc. the desert , mostly in the
Anza-Borrego Desert State park area. That RM 370 made the TM 250 seem slow, in comparison.

Wanna guess what the pucker factor must have been when the front wheels went up? Holy cow!

Back in the early and mid 80's, son and I raced three wheelers. The most dangerous thing on wheels according to the gubberment and banned importation of them in 86 or 87 I think it was.
I still have a 1985 Honda ATC 250SX that I restored to new condition from a wrecked pile of junk.
When we go riding the dunes, I get lots of comments that they didn't know three wheelers were being built again. LOL.
It's a fun ride but you do have to know how to ride them and the dangers involved.
