Yow, flashy fingers!
This was pretty good, apart from the goofiest character animations I've seen since Ecstatica. Warning: Language
If you've ever done this, it doesn't matter if it's in a car, on a bike, you know the feeling, and there's nothing like it.
His qualifying time was not recorded so he had to start after the pack is gone, once he's through the slower riders, about a minute in, it's insane how fast he's riding

Never mind. My parents had one and it "disappeared ". Always assumed it had the typical leaf spring rear end. No wonder they raced them! Still a nice car to see in the video.
