I think this should really be taken seriously. I refuse to ride without a helmet boots and pants. I just trail and pit ride. But if I'm doing 40-50-60 in the woods, and these drag guys are doing 80-90-100. There's no coming back from that. If I fall, I'll be really fucked up. And I have been. I can't imagine going double the speed ad taking a spill.
I love this sport. I'll be doing it for the rest of my life with family and friends. I would really like to see a huge leap forward in the industry with our bikes. Banshees are the only bikes in the world with the aftermarket we have. Why can't we be the same as the top fuel guys? The guys from 87 that are still around us because these bikes make us smile. 40-50 even 60 year old guys playing with these toys. Why level off because we can't get anymore people to see into our community? The big names in the auto AMA NHRA whatever it may be,prob see us as safety shitheads because of our protective t shirts, jean shorts, and converse. Would you want your name/investment on some guy that flipped 18 times down the track with you sponsor t shirt?
Like I said I love this sport, I want to continue making absurd amounts of power with these things. Getting bigger names involved can only help. I'm pretty sure almost everyone wants the same thing.
