We went to a few hill climb things when I lived in Melbourne. :D

I feel bad that I live 15 minutes from the Texas Motorplex and have never been to see the drag races. Be sure to bring ear protection if you ever go.

You've gotta go Buddy - you'll love it.
It's worth every penny to see it.
You'll never forget it.

how about -

jaw dropping Top Fuel Motorcycle world record run at 5.50 / 264 mph
by the legendary Nitro motorcycle drag racer Larry “Spiderman” McBride.
That's 1320 feet 1/4 mile.
