Man! The brakes on the R6 are better than I thought!

I had the pleasure of watching this guy at a couple races I attended.

It seems like everybody is a so called expert trick rider on the rice burners but try it on a Harley. I saw this guy at our local Harley dealer a few years ago.

My Dad had a nearly identical '59 Fury with the 361 Golden Commando in it. It was the fastest car around. Used to regularly kick the local Chevy garage guys 348 tri-power's ass.

@2:46 non-sychronized first gear. LOL

Yup. 3 on the tree. I recognize the same gauges in the dash and the same door handles as on my Dad's old restored 1960 D100.

This won't play here, but I think I see where it's going and I don't like it.

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Nope, didn't like it. Dude's lucky his legs are still attached.

The guy in the 55 Chevy was lucky and walked away from the wreck. His seat belt came unbolted from the floor and his legs were sticking out the windshield after he rolled it.

So much for the tech inspection.

A grand jury in New York will not charge NASCAR driver Tony Stewart for the August death of fellow driver Kevin Ward while at a sprint car race in New York state. But the most shocking news is what the district attorney revealed about Ward.
The decision was announced Wednesday, nearly seven weeks after Stewart’s car struck and killed ward at a dirt-track race on Aug. 9 in Canandaigua (can-uhn-DAY’-gwah). District Attorney Michael Tantillo, however, also said Ward was under the influence of marijuana that night “enough to impair judgment.”

And he said two videos examined by investigators showed “no aberrational driving by Tony Stewart.

I felt all along Tony wasn't to blame. Now this explains the foolish and childish behavior on the other guy's part. Clearly he didn't expect to have a professional career driving.

Agreed. Stewart does have a reputation as a hothead but the whole thing would have never happened if the other guy hadn't run out on the track.

While I certainly don't think Tony meant to hit Ward, I do think he tried to scare him.
