Cyclist passes ferrari at 207mph!
Pretty cool setup. Although it's mechanical it's far from a motorcycle and is still considered a bike.. I would love to pull up to the line on that thing and run down a Ferrari on it!

"Not mechanical"???
It is a rocket-powered motorcycle.

I've made some poor choices in my life--but I'm not going to add that to my list!

A person who was laying on his bicycle, while the bicycle was attached to a rocket, passed a Ferrari while the rocket traveled at 207mph.

A rocket powered anything can always be faster than something that relies on friction with the ground to propel itself in a contest where the limiting factor IS how much friction with the ground you have.

Ferrari is not a dragster, this rocket bike is more of a drag bike.
After a few laps around the track, wonder which would lead ?

That is some serious "crop-dusting." I myself have some experience with JATO, but from a more organic approach.

Amazing machines but the production cars are somewhat delicate given the rigors of the track.
