This is badass video.

Thats and ICA 125cc engine. revs up to 20-22k. These engines use magnesium motor mounts. At national races, a driver'll have 3 engines; 2 practice engines and 1 race engne that last a 10 min. qualifying and then a 15 and 25 lap race. Then send it back to Italy or w/e to be rebuilt. 3 engines, easily $10k.

 

yea, i can see it happening. never heard of 1 here, gonna ask around.
