Street Racing

One of the things that make street racing cars (legal or otherwise) better than stock cars is the fact that these use performance parts that will enhance the car’s performance. Of course, these cars are not like the Formula One racing cars that require minutiae details not just in its design but in its engineering process.

I still vividly remember those drag races we use to go to when that mall beside Manila Bay was still being built. Adrenalin pumping to say the least. Just to hear the cars rev is enough to make one look on and watch.

For now, these street racers like that participants in Bullrun with which we await the second season should be thankful that these kinds of technologies are available to them.

For those who race in the middle of the night along a major road near where we live, I hope you know what you are doing.

On to the races, fellas!

So You Want to Have a Motorcycle?

I have blogged about motorcycles in different circumstances:

This post had a photo about a family riding in one small motorcycle that spell disaster if ever a mistake is made.

What about the Ducati motorcycle of Yellow Cab Pizza post?

Some of the Batangas Racing Circuit photos that I posted? Yes, there were some superbikes there.

Motorcycles are here to stay, that s for sure. Nothing wrong there except some of the things that the riders do that get them in trouble. They ride fast. They don’t wear their helmets on their head but rather wear these on their arms/elbows (duh?). They ride with 2 other riders. They drive even if they are intoxicated,which is the leading cause of accidents in the country. They ride without safety gears.

So it is any surprise that in Asia, in the Philippines, motorcycle accidents happen day in and day out?

If these riders have accidents, do they have motorcycle accident attorneys who will help them with their cases especially if these involved other people?

Sure, motorcycles are way more inexpensive than getting four wheel vehicles, but do these money matters weigh more than the lives of the people that will be claimed?

Is it worth risking one’s life just to be able to show that one can tackle the twists and turns that give that exhilarating feeling?

Yellow Cab Pizza Delivers with a Ducati?

Who wants Yellow Cab Pizza delivered in a Ducati? Now that would be fun, wouldn’t it?

That is a rider (not sure if this is Glenn Aguilar) on a Ducati during a motorcycle race that we watched a few months ago at the Batangas Racing Circuit.

I did see a huge poster of this bike along EDSA, a major thoroughfare here in Metro Manila, a few weeks ago. But because my eyesight has some problems, I was not abe to read what it was all about,
