Interesting camera angle - u can watch the front runners lose rear tire grip coming out of the corners.https://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... 3311,d.amc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Looks like a lap timer, I might be wrong though....

yep its the timer unit.

Early RZ forks and wires... I know its a racer but imho wires make for an ugly look on an LC, and are often heavy, but against the OEM wheels probably not LOL. Exciting riding tho. Ive been to BSFoS a few times helping out in the pit for some friends and its a nice event with great access to the racers etc.

That motor is lethargic!! Jesus, I think I might be more impressed with the acceleration from a Prius.

However he's got some mad corner speed in comparison to the rest of the guys..
