No its not SM, but the parallels are there. Attack when everyone else is backing off. You just have to admire the commitment. Let it all hang out!

IMO THIS video is absolutely the best primer on how you race in the rain to win.

I agree. Just unreal. His body control is simply magnificent. Hope that dude never shows up at a wet track in a Miata! If he does, we are all toast.

Satire is primarily a literary genre or form, although in practice it can also be found in the graphic and performing arts. In satire, vices, follies, abuses, and shortcomings are held up to ridicule, ideally with the intent of shaming individuals, and society itself, into improvement.[1] Although satire is usually meant to be funny, its greater purpose is often constructive social criticism, using wit as a weapon.

Awesome Ride... Listen to the last line the announcer says while he's sitting on his bike looking at his time "How does Danny sit down with balls that big!!!"
