Track: Toronto Motorsports Park, Cayuga, Ontario
Why the Quicker Time Did Not Win
The footage does not show why the slower elapsed time took the win light, so we are not calling it a red light, a foul start or a timing problem. In drag racing, reaction time, race format, breakout rules and event setup can all decide a race, which is why the number on the board does not always tell the whole story.
The Rematch
After the first pass, the Redeye and the Hayabusa lined up again for a rematch. Watch both races and tell us in the YouTube comments what you think happened the first time.
Car vs Bike at TMP
Car vs bike. Supercharged Hellcat power vs lightweight motorcycle acceleration. The Redeye brings the unmistakable supercharger whine, while the Hayabusa brings the kind of power-to-weight ratio that makes bikes dangerous in any straight-line matchup.
