S1 E11 Yellow Yellow Yellow Green GO! - Top Fuel Dragster Ashley Sanford

There is no way short of paying for a seat on Elon Musk's Space X rocket of hitting 5 Gs, unless you get behind the wheel of a top fuel drag racer. With engines that develop over 10,000 horse power, you'll be doing well over 300 mph in less than 4 seconds and then it's time to deploy your 'shutes and hit the brakes, hoping like hell everything holds together. Sometimes the engine will simply explode and the nitromethane fuel creates a fireball that accompanies you down the track. It's not a sport for the faint hearted.For self confessed adrenaline junkie ("I just like going fast!") Ashley Sanford, it seems like the most natural thing in the world. And in a traditionally male dominated sport, her and other women are truly making their mark in this multi-million dollar sport. Hang on and enjoy the ride because Ashley has almost as much energy as those cars!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VF0JwxQqcA Popular Mechanics and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRJ5LD1i6Ts Ashley's debut in Top FuelContact me on [email protected] or www.speleopix.com.au

Richard Harris SC OAM, 2019 Joint Australian of the Year talks about risk with real, live, risk takers. How can one person BASE jump from a bridge when another gets dizzy at the top of the stairs? Why might you fear going into an elevator when I love to explore flooded caves? Real Risk gets into the weeds with the people we all think are crazy, to find that mostly, they aren’t at all. They just have a different view of the world around them, often driven by curiosity or a need to test themselves. I guarantee you’ll be inspired to push yourself a little harder.
