I couldn't help myself, so I stopped and got out to talk to the nearest guy, who turned out to be an MIT student. Turns out it was a project for a school competition where they have to build a car and make it fanancially viable as well as competitive on the track. They chose to build this space frame thing with the motor from a Honda CBR600RR (the rules are such that they have to use a motor under 600cc).
The thing sounded fierce, and weighed 450 pounds so it went like hell. The driver kept squiggling around and nodding his head with an "awwwww yeah" motion.
My nachos were cold by the time I picked them up.

That's awesome! Think how much fun that cbr600RR motor would be if you, say, put it... in a cbr600RR! ;-)
Yeah, but with this you have traction, so you have a greater chance of thinking you have more grip than you actually have and going into the wall!
more traction than you think! :)
