There were some righteous bikes back in the pits at this
race. One top fuel racer hit over 200 MPH in a qualifying run
doing the quarter mile in under 7 seconds. That guy looked like
he was strapped to a bullet going down the track. They wear titanium
jackets in an attempt to protect themselves if the engines blow on these
nitro fueled drag bikes. Whew!
