Do these spectators have a death wish or are they just plain stupid? Standing that close to something moving that fast is insane.

Racing in Baja the spectators would try to touch the race car/truck as it sped by...

The fun starts when one bike hits an oil slick or a cow pie :sweating:

210 mph on some parts of the circuit in the senior races and their brain has to be ahead of that to remember the perfect line for over 200 corners per lap. These guys are so used to doing those speeds they just concentrate on the road. As for spectators you have to be there to feel it.
