Hundreds gathered to take in the high-speed action at the 4th Annual Memorial Day Drag Races in Hilo this past Memorial Day weekend.
Among them was Oʻahu's Jack Cambra Jr., who makes his living as a strength and conditioning coach, but his first love is the race track.
He comes from a family with racing in its blood and recently made history with the world’s first nine-second Indian street bike.
So what does it take to muster up the courage and adrenaline to rocket a quarter mile on two wheels in under 10 seconds? The Conversation’s Russell Subiono sat down with Cambra in our studio to go inside the mind of a racer.
This interview aired on The Conversation on May 30, 2023. The Conversation airs weekdays at 11 a.m. on HPR-1.
