Every so often the internet delivers a video that shows drag racing is an incredibly diverse sport, with different interpretations of straight line acceleration contests around the world.
This video from Thailand shows one of the most extreme variations we have seen. We honestly have very little idea about what is going down, suffice to say it involves about half a dozen two-stroke motorcycles and a drag strip.
The motorcycles are small capacity and so are the riders, but this jockey has nerves of steel – watch how he goes into the Superman pose to reduce air resistance at the top end, even changing gears by hand. Someone put this guy on a Pro Stock Motorcycle!
