Anatomy of a Racer: Only Elite Athletes Can Vanquish Rivals at Triple-Digit Speeds:

Dishing out inertial forces of up to 5 gs, racing is one of the most grueling tests your body can endure while seated. Success demands a rare ability to stay calm and focused for hours while piloting a screaming land rocket mere inches from other victory-obsessed psychos.

Anyone that thinks that driving in a NASCAR, Formula 1 or CART race is not one of the most taxing SPORTS ever attempted by modern man is simply ill informed.

    Never could understand the why anyone needs to go THAT fast.  Of course, I couldn’t win in an office chair race (something to do with screaming “slow down, slow down”).

    Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer Go!That being said, It looks very dangerous, not all warm and fuzzy like in the Cars movie. People get killed, turned into Spam in a Can, extra crispy.
