With the insanity of the power some of those vehicles make and pushing to break records it's surprising more don't crash.

Nothing like a 4-cylinder diesel tri-turbo engine making 70 psi of boost resulting in 440HP to set a record..

^ Agreed. With the speed and power they are pushing now it is truly insane.

I lost a friend and fellow motorcycle racer back in 2015 when I was living out there. He went off a cliff during the practice session. They have since stopped the motorcycle division.

Motorcycle racing is dangerous enough, let alone going over a cliff.
There's the Isle of Man race every year, the speeds those racers go is mind-numbing.

Yeah I raced for several years, it's a rush that is hard to describe but races like the Isle of Man or Pikes Peak are something I would never do.

Thank god for the snow. It definitely lessened the impacts and slowed the vehicle. Without it it would have been way worse!
