DRAG RACING

Russ Collins... He had a bike (for lack of a better term) with three 750 engines in it. I would suspect that the displacement of those were anything but 750... When that bike was crashed, he went down to two 750 engines in a chasis, with a GMC blower in between the two.... not sure that I'd want to be standing too close when a bike like that is started.... and I know I'd never want to ride one :-)


This photo shows the triple engined bike, while the crew cares for it. I know know if Russ Collins is in the pic or not.


Collins launching the triple engined beast.



This I believe is the two engined monster with the blower in between... The blower was positioned upside down, that way if it exploded, it would slam into the ground first, then bounce back up at the rider, instead of having a straight path right into the pilots chest... OUCH




Launch time... can only imagine what these things sounded like
