You gotta be INSANE to hit TOP SPEED on these!

These quad and scooter drag racers are absolutely dearness and insane to hit top speed on these chassis that where never meant to go this fast. The stakes are high at “Drag Survival”, the first drag racing event for the world’s quickest and fastest ATV, heavily modified Yamaha Banshee two stroke quads, and some of the most senselessly fast nitrous, nitro and Jet ski powered scooters in the world from legendary outlaw drag strip, Showtime Speedway in Clearwater, Fla. We take you in the pits a d behind the scenes to find out WHY these fearless riders go over 100 mph in less than 700 feet with 12-inch front tires and chassis made for the dirt. We also see Jr. Drag racing gone wrong as a fuel leak nearly ruins the day for a young drag racer. Enjoy this inside look at the world’s fastest quads and scooters! It's Florida's version of a Thailand motorbike race!

This brings back memories. In the 90's, the trend shifted from normal mopeds to scooters and those were very easy to tune up. I worked as a bike mechanic back then and must've modified hundreds of them. Mostly by putting on aftermarket parts but every now and then some customers gave us the green light to squeeze out as much horsepower as possible! It's insane how much a 50cc two stroke can produce! Fun times :D I quit just in time before the four stroke scooters became popular, lol! Two-strokes rule!

[@Grooty79]

I think a scooter class is a really good idea at 1/8th mile events, will bring people with lower budgets into the fold, ima take this idea and see how far I can promote it in my country 😁
