Love it! The sportbike riders aren't even pushing the limits of traction. "Yellow #5" loses traction (wiggles) in the corners several times and seems to go wide on the straights almost making the track more circular than oval for him, on skinny tires no less! Had the sportbike riders had the intestinal fortitude to seek out their limits of traction in the corners I think they could have held off Yellow #5, i.e "limp wristed throttle syndrome"...

I think you need those super trick handlebars Wilbur. Pure intimidation on the drag strip.

Seems like just breaking a knee cap or an arm would be sufficient instead of killing.

And from what I understand is that there is no cheering in the stands either, that's considered bad manners in Japan I guess, so they place their bets and then quietly watch the race. Kind of creepy.
