Top fuel motorcycle dirt drag racing
https://youtu.be/eTQjRZ84nG4
This is probably old news to you guys in the lower 48, but I just stumbled on to it up here. I've seen top fuel drag bikes race, and those guys are nuts. Now they slap a mud bogger on one and run it on dirt.

Nitro Methane in a rail or funny car is extremely dangerous, but the guys driving them have cages, and fire suppression systems, that help if something goes sideways. The nitro methane drag bikes have zero protection other than leathers and a helmet. Pavement is smooth so those guys usually stay on the ground, with dirt I see the potential to fly. Flying motorcycles is never a good thing, those guys must have gigantic balls.
