Title: Japanese "Auto Race" is Cool

This stuff looks like a lot of fun. These guys and girls can really lean into it. The venue looks spectacular too, and it's free.

You gotta see the auto race against 2 super motos and 2 sport bikes unknown displacements. You can only go so fast in a circle sooner or later you become part of the wall , the Japanese have it down with a very specialized bike. Those funky hi/lo bars on a speedway/ice racer with what kind of tires. With a football lineman for a pilot.

They bet on it like horses too. It’s crazy stuff. Like a day at the track.

Looks like a lot more fun than playing Pachinko. I dig those crazy handlebars!

With no brakes it’s all throttle control & body position , consistency and oh yeah a big set nuts. They crash occasionally usually just slide off the track. I wonder how fast they go and at what is the threshold speed of tires. Wonder if they could trail brake if they could go a bit faster. It’s very Japanese , colorful , not like anything else anywhere. America has flat track , Japan has auto race.
