If You Ain't First, You're Last

The worst/best motorcycle drag race ever!

In a scene right out of Talladega Nights, two Down Under drag racers competing in the 400 Thunder in Perth, Australia, finish by pushing their drag bikes across the finish line after both suffered mechanical issues. Quite possibly the slowest drag race in the history of motorcycle drag racing, but in the spirit of competition both these guys deserve to get thrown out of Applebee’s.
