That was a quick pass, but I raced in WERA and AMA events in the late 80's and early 90's when both organizations ran endurance racing at Talledega and Daytona. On our GSXR1100 endurance bikes we would run 175-180 mph for 4hrs at a time. My point is that the guy on the bike probably thought that was a ride in the park, its all relative on what your used to.

Actually you do feel it. There have been several riders go down over 200 mph and survived. Bill Furr just went down a month or so ago in Texas on a Top Fuel Harley at 215 mph. The tire blew out right as he was going through the traps. It busted him up pretty good. He's still recovering as we speak. He will be back as soon as he is well enough. He broke some ribs and punctured a lung and lost a good amount of skin.
Elmer Trett wasn't as lucky when he crashed his at Indy in 1996. When he came off the bike he hit the wall and it broke his neck. That was the same weekend that Blaine Johnson was killed at Indy in his Top Fuel dragster.
