I've never drag raced in my life, but I'd think a wheelie might've been a surprise... and a turn of the wheel a reaction.

There's about 90 grand out the window.

Guy must not have had much racing experience. Sucks to be him.

I'm obviously going to the wrong parts and the right parts of Baltimore both at the same time to have never run into these people. And sadly the Cobra jet video shows that brains don't always come with money.

He broke the first rule off Dragracing, never turn the wheels when they are off the ground

Man that sucks. I can just imagine the heartbreak that must settle in after the initial terror. I wonder why the cobrajet doesn't have a wheelie bar from the factory if this sort of thing is a possibility.

The wheels were turned by the time he passed the camera in the first video, but I had already seen the second video before so I kind of knew it

Thats cool and all but stupid as hell on an interstate. If he would have wiped out or lost it, he would have been toast.

Can't say I'm a fan of those "organ donors" screwing around on the highway on their bikes.

...if I needed a kidney or something...maybe I'd feel differently.
