If you want to see some motorcycle "spills" check out the races at Nürburgring's old road course in Germany, where for about $10, you can "run-what-you-brung" over a 12-kilometer course. (Been there twice with Porsche and BMW, for ten days of "seat-time").
Sometimes, oil is spilled, which makes for slippery biking. Amazing how bikers take a tumble, sprint back to their bike, and start it back up!

We did watch the classic races at Gunstock for many years. Of course the crowd favorite was the sidecar race with best viewing at the hairpin turn.
