At this particular event drag racing is shown in all of its guises. "Funny cars" and bikes are raced. They are special builds. This bike is powered by a jet. The fuels are mixed at the start and the biker has to wait about five minutes for the pressure to build up. It is almost silent - which the other vehicles are not! Then, when the pressure gets to the right level, the rider dumps the power on. The bike accelerates to almost full speed immediately.
I was at the start. Normally I can get two or three reasonably sharp shots off at this point. But in this case the bike moved so fast I only got one blurred shot.
I liked the colours and the effect so I showed it even though it's a bit blurred. (SOOC).
