- Here's Critter going a lap down to the fastest man in the U.S.

- This is the 183HP Suzuki GSX-R1000 built by Lee's Performance.

- As a privateer, CR is accustomed to tuning the bike and making all necessary adjustments on his own.
- Gittere can't belive Bayly shredded the rear tire but what is really impressive is that he did it with zero air in the tire - Neale's the man!

- No stock motorcycle is ever going be this much fun on a racetrack.
