Bored? - scooter drag racing Japan

[Damrongsak]

Looks like fun.  Perfect for late-night runs to the corner 7-11.

I was amazed when I saw two or three exhaust pipes hanging off some.

Pffft.  They got nuthin' on the locals.

 

Thai guys do it on the water...  Or in circles...

Another time waster for gear-heads - Ford V8 in 1932.  1 hour video.

 

 

I do love watching those boat racing videos.  Of course it's hard to beat a boat with 8,000 HP that gets to 260 MPH.

These racers are crazy.  Get two dozen cars with 900 HP 6.7 liter engines on a short dirt track. They can hit in excess of 260 Kph on the straights.  I attended a race once. The noise is deafening. I came home covered in clay and rubber dust.  Some races are on asphalt.

Good that they don't use the micro-tires like the Thai boys.

Solo run, no staging lights and no timing gear.......... not what I would call drag racing.
