Wait! Wait, are you sure this isn't a motocross event?

These guys are bad ass.


Now, I see:
"In 1971 I set Three Land Speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats on a 500cc
Kawasaki mounted in a frame of my own design. All records were set in
different classes."
The limiting factor in the hot saw competition is that one man has to be able to pull start the saw and cut with it by himself.
You get very much bigger of an engine and you can't pull start it or pick it up and cut anymore.
