LSR is a little different animal because even in a fire, the rider is reluctant to part company with the ride and stopping first is a looong process.
Other forms of MC racing want the friction of the materials to bring them to a quick stop if they are on the ground because they want to minimize the speed before they hit the wall etc.
LSR, often features longer slides, and higher speeds.
