I'm guessing he drags 'em on the ground to stop??  :? :?

And all this concern about skinny tires just went out the window down the track!  :-o :-o

Having to stop every mile to refill his hydrogen peroxide tank is going to hurt his lap times.  :-D

The tires would scare the he-l-l out of me. Most bicycle tires can be dismounted and mounted with your fingers. How do the large diameter tires even stay on the rims?

The guy that drag raced with a V-8 in his bike, EJ Potter, said something about desire and ignorance being a winning combination.

EJ Potter was known as "The Michigan Madman" according to my friend Jon Lundberg.
