Elmer Trett vs Chris Hand 1982 Nitro Top Fuel Motorcycles

[@Hitech82]

I love these old races.
Anyone have any of the Pro Star races from i think 1993 or
1994 Trett vs McClure.
Those were epic
Kawasaki vs Harley.
Im sure Elmer and Jim are riding some fast bikes in Heaven.
RIP MEN

I enjoyed the Elmer Trett runs in Gulf Port Mississippi in 82 I own a Elmer Trett Harley sweatshirt we used to travel from Tenn to Mississippi to see the fastest motorcycles in the world it's wild to see them start the bike's with a vehicle on rollers now all high tech i just enjoy Nitro bikes

My asshole dad used to do machine work for Elmer when he raced Harleys in Cincinnati

[@terryburgett2241]

i remember chris hand when he built this bike he came to baileyton to test

[@johnkaveski7953]

no way elmer was that thin

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

Only a 9.07 seconds.
They went much quicker than that in 1982 on other bikes.

[@Peter-V_00]

Seriously?

[@MasterLee1955]

Evidently you have " white out " on your screen if you missed ALL of that smoke.
Or do you think they are Diesel engines ?

[@davidleonard8369]

Elmer went 8.44@172mph smoking the tire all the way.
