  • The fastest sport you've never heard of

    ~sigh~

    That is the title of a CNN article.

    Look out NASCAR, air racing – one of the world’s fastest motor sports – wants to steal your fans.


    Not a bad article at all, I just guess it had some other "buzz" about it other than the ...... you've never heard of part.

      Not a bad article at all, not a hit piece for sure.



      Its strongest supporters believe American air racing can one day rival the popularity of NASCAR.

      I'd like some of what they are smoking! Sorry it just not gonna happen.

        Model rockets must be the fastest sport. Speeds of several times the speed of sound are quite common.

          Anything involving one ball is a game.

          If it requires two, it's a sport.

          If you're not physically in it, it's neither.

            Yes; real sports require two balls!

              Then I guess the fastest sport was the Moon race

              According to the 2002 Guinness World Records, Apollo 10 set the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle at 39,897 km/h (11.08 km/s or 24,791 mph) during the return from the Moon on May 26, 1969.
