    Nerds shouldn't try to race their creations.
    Geeks are allowed to race their creations.

    Guess which one this guy is

    P.S. Tuners should let *me* race their creations. ;)

    I was having problems with the link at work. Would only load the header, and nothing else. I was able to load the first link at home, but the video window never appeared. Second link is giving me a black video window, but won't play.

    kinda ironic when he says, "i am not the driver, just the inventor" and then proceeds to attempt his burnout....
    definitely a candidate for the Darwin Awards....

    Did you see how fast he took off?
    I guess he was trying to get the back wheel to lose traction for the burnout.
    Maybe he didn't add enough throttle quick enough to lose traction.
    less than 1s is not much time to react especially the G forces he was experiencing.

    hey those of you who are techies.... gravity is 9.8m/sq ft
    0-60 in 0.97s - whats the acceleration rate?

    26.8 m/s = 60mph

    26.8 m/s divide .97s = 27.65 m/s^2 (acceleration rate)

    9.8 m/s^2 = 1 G so,

    27.65 m/s^2 divide 9.8 m/s^s = 2.82 avg G's to 60 mph (assumes linear acceleration)

    2.82 Gs!!!! Isn't that like gravity on Jupiter?
    How can you even steer a beat like that when you're barely holding on to the handle bars.

    Just saw the crash video... it's so sad, but I can't help but laugh each time I see it.
    When I see him on the ground I stop laughing though.
