After a Pro Mod drag car hit the crowd a few years ago, I vowed never to do another burnout away from the track. I guess thats why.

I watched that Isle of Man race...was pretty neat. If I remember they each just did one lap? Or some abbreviated form of the race anyways.

Not in person...on some HD TV channel lol.

same bike, but after repairs? you can hear the guy from the wreck video in the back ground of this one. i guess they wouldn't let him ride it again after his little accident.
