OMG! I used to race MC and as a 71 yr old woman, I STILL want to race. This video makes my heart pound for 5 mn after seeing it! Let me at that machine just once!!
I remember in 1999 on the NHRA tour I watched Larry macbride from the top end of the quarter mile you would see the smoke come out of the pipes and about three seconds 3 seconds later you hear the sound. That's the only place I've ever seen top fuel motorcycle I've never had the chance to sit in the stands and watch as a spectator. I don't remember any venue where they actually made two full passes at the same time during the season when they were asked to race at the tracks with the main show. Edit::; now that I see for standing there during that season at heartland Park was one of the venues where McBride made a full pass single that same night at about midnight I was in the upper pitch on a pit bike and I had a beer in one hand and all of a sudden a guy comes walking out it's pitch-black my little Honda elite 250 I brought it down to a. Just in time front tire was barking"whew partner you almost got me"shut a black leather jacket and John Force he signed my Big sky electric ⚡ team shirt. It was a little past midnight. In the upper pro pits. Force took all of us stalkers out to Piggly wiggly the next day
Jack that's balls to the wall fast, makes me pucker and I've run dragbikes. Congratulations Larry and the whole McBride racing team an awesome accomplishment.👍🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🤘
No clue why YT brought me here but that was something else. Seeing the acceleration from that angle was incredible. I can't imagine the forces on his body.
distance = 1/2 times acceleration times time squared d = 1/2at^2 solving for a when d = 1000 ft and t = 4.829 seconds gives you 2.67 average accelertion over those whole time interval. So a little bit more than 2.3g Still.... wow. If Larry weighs 190 lbs that would make him feel like 507 lbs!@@julesdomes6064
Probably for bikes it would be best to keep them at 1,000 ft..could you imagine the speed with that at a quarter mile. Damn that's fast he already has a record in a quarter mile at 268 makes you wonder if he would of beat that.
Love your channel, I raced Honda 750's with RC engineering 1000 kits in the 70's ended up with the cbx but just not of support back in the late 70's and early 80's for that motor especially when there was so much support for the four cylinders.
Amazing run, I remember back in 1971 racing for Honda of Raleigh, I set a record in my class, D Altered with a 750 4 Honda 115 MPH in 12.10 sec. that was fun.
IN 2022 I saw 61 year old Frenchman Eric Teboul break the rocket powered motorcycle 1/4 mile record at Santa Pod in England. It was his very last run before he retired and he put in some extra hydrogen peroxide. He finally go under 5 seconds after years of trying and recorded a 1/4 mile record @ 4.976 sec time with a top speed of 290.51 mph. A few years ago I saw Filippos Papafilppou 1/4 mile 5.662 sec at 246.74 mph. I didn't visit Santa Pod in 2023 due to a sudden illness, but Ill be back next weekend (25th May 2024) for the first time on a wheelchair!
That's fast .. Thanks for posting the stats.. did not know it was 1,000 feet until you posted that. The other bike was only 1/10 second and 11 mph slower.. Looks to me like the sheet metal on the wheelie bar will help to keep the bike straight .. It's a whole lot faster than E.J. Potter was with his 327 Chevy powered bike .
Larry- I freaking love you man! Not many people have the balls to straddle one of these beasts, and you do it for peanuts. But there is an entire nation watching you, and we all thank the God’s that you exist! Keep riding man! You’re da man!
Oh, the joy...I started riding in 1961 on a Cushman Eagle scooter, we could ride small stuff on the streets at 14. The British 650/750 twins and the HD Sportster were the performance bikes of the time, and we'd go down to the cycle center and drool over the hot new 250/305 Honda twins that were coming out...In 1969 the Honda CB750 came on the scene and the "Modern Motorcycle Era" began. It was an incredible time to be in love with motorcycles, although my passion was with the Norton Commandos, the best performing of the "Old Fashioned Bikes". I've had many bikes and rode through out the American west back when the traffic was much less and the cool places undeveloped. I hope you get some wheels and can get out and enjoy what's left, I would suggest staying away from cruisers and busy highways and get a "bike for a purpose" and enjoy the roads less traveled by, best wishes.
For some it’s that perfect chicane, for others it’s straight line acceleration, and still there are the occasional perfect launch and landing folk. The motorsport gods are many and accept offerings in all CC’s and every drivetrain. All hail F =ma! 🙏
I don't think 99% of people watching this understand the courage and skill it takes to do this. Yeah we've all drove a car/truck 100+. Double that. Add even more. Do it all in less than five seconds. Holy shit man. My top speed on anything was 163. What a legend.
The G force is probably comparable to top fuel cars that pull in the 5 G range. Solid 4s for sure in my opinion. 60ft is probably less than a second... that is acceleration! Its a time distortion because keeping your mind in front of the action required to control these machines takes practice. if we were to jump on one of these even as a skilled drag racer you would find yourself in a place where you would soon realize you were not keeping up with where you were at. I don't know how else to explain it.
I really miss seeing top fuel drag racing. The feeling and speed they go to is hard to describe and capture in video. This is pretty close though. Great job
Consistently around 1.00 second. But once that clutch locks up, look out - it's game on. That bike has run as quick as 5.50 and 268mph in the quarter mile.
Wowser. Quick question please. What does the mechanic do to the engine just seconds before the start of the run. The revs seem to increase rapidly before larry launches himself down the strip. Fantastic effort all round.
The bike is crazy fast and Larry is insane...hump on the bike set his balls between those exhaust pipe just to keep them warm and let it rip.. just a nother record breaking run . The original super hero spiderman .
I don't know how much Larry weighs, but assuming it is 190 lbs, the g-forces Larry would experience in those 4.929 seconds would make him feel like he weighs 507 lbs (2.67 g's) Wow!

Did you see Larry do a balls adjustment right before the pass? It takes a lot of balls to do that, for sure! 👊😎
Balls the size of beach balls on that seat? You would have to adjust them, too.
Yeah, I expect you did you ball watcher
" Check: I'm leaving the line with two, hope they're still there at the finish!"
Can’t believe John just blew him off like that

About 2.3 g acceleration on average.

Larry, it was just a matter of time! That 5:01 yesterday was great also, but a world record is a World Record!
Wow awesom teams Nice Lary Steve you rock Tom Québec
I've had the pleasure of knowing Larry my entire life. He is truly a great man. Congratulations on another successful run.
Congratulations Larry... from Elmer's nephew... 👍 🏆 🏆 🏆
Jack, you may want to mention that it was excessively windy that day, hence the agreed 1000' with riders and NHRA.
Wondered why they only ran 1000’.
Thanks for that Ed. Was wondering... 👍

That bike is nothing compared to the EV version, it'll be able to do 400mph

Of course it had to be The Spider-Man 🕷️
I mean there's one other legitimate bike in the class.....
Well, with great power comes great responsibility, so….
Ya can't beat the smell of nitro & burning rubber in the air. not to mention that sound! 💪
You really can't

Faster than any nitro Harley too!
The legend does it again! 🐐. There will Never be anybody as fast as this man again 🔥
LARRY IS THE BEST AND THEN THERE'S ALL THE REST. That's from Willie from Darlington SC
1000ft for Top Fuel Bikes now?? Or is this `` just`` the Record for the Distance??
They still run 1/4 mile.
I guess I’m wrong but the top fuel Harley’s still run 1/4
Because it is an nhra event nitro vehicles run 1000ft
Said they cut back to 1,000 feet because it was very windy .
@@mikeskidmore6754
So then it wouldn’t be a record just a really nice pass ?

I wonder how many G forces that guy feels accelerating that quick. What a rush that must be.
well iv'e ran 9's on my kaw triple an you want to be holding on this is twice as fast almost so put super glue on your gloves 🤣
The ground is also feeling it from the engine sound lol. I got no doubt it would feel like the ground is sinking if you revved it up all the way

WOW, I'd adjust more than my JEWELS! Thanks for showing. John P.
From a novice viewer who doesn't know much about these machines, let me say I appreciate the captions.
Perfect start , perfect balance, in a blink . Wow
Hey watch out! Here comes the Spider man....😎
What an effort! Congrats Larry and team! So well deserved!
Spiderman ( and team ) do it again !!!! Thanks Jack , greatly appreciated.
These guys are the ballsiest racers in all motorsports , this racer was making sure his were in the right place.
Isle of Mann TT will forever hold that title.
4 seconds+ and going 240MPH+
Is insane and it’s a motorcycle also…
In a car the windshield adds the extra layer to make it feel less.
And in a car you are in a cage usually.
Top fuel can hit mid 3s at 330+ mph in a 1/4 but that are caged.
These guys are buts
Keep on keeping on Larry you are amazing,Began following you with my friend Dave Wagner in Virginia Beach,still following now back in Ny
-Spiderman is on a roll! 🤠
Amazing Jack! Thank you.
I really miss seeing top fuel drag racing. The feeling and speed they go to is hard to describe and capture in video.
This is pretty close though. Great job
Awesome thanks 🇺🇸
Holy shit!!! That has to feel amazing!!!
And he makes it look easy!
He pushes a button..... lol
Duty takes balls of steel to do that
I'd like to know the 60' time. They launch so darn hard!
Consistently around 1.00 second. But once that clutch locks up, look out - it's game on. That bike has run as quick as 5.50 and 268mph in the quarter mile.
How the hell do you not vaporize your hearing at these events? Those cars and bikes are totally insane. Awesome.
Crazy having your belly hovering above the piston heads.
I got goosebumps looking at this motorbike, it's faster than the fastest car, crazy, really crazy❤
Congrats from the Heath family 👍🏻👍🏻
Great filming Jack, you're doing a lot for the sport. Keep up the excellent work. Luv t/f bike..✌️
Absolutely amazing
What an awesome run
0:22 damn, even the golf carts at Top Fuel sound beefy.
おめでとうございます🎉🎊㊗️🍾イヤホンで音量マックスで見ると最高の臨場感を味わえました！
Elephant 🐘 ball bags to ride that even in a straight line
With both of them numbers, it would have been a great heads-up race. Spider-Man had like 3 bikes on Vantine at the lounge
Those things scare me to look at sideways,
Great Job!
Just curious, did he back up the record, for the books? Making it official
Incredible. Thanks much for sharing
That motor sounds EVIL! Man that thing is hittin!
Outta sight man! Congrats from canada
Congratulations on the world record !
It's both amazing and utterly pointless at the same time. Brave people doing that!
It's called Freedom .
Wowser. Quick question please. What does the mechanic do to the engine just seconds before the start of the run. The revs seem to increase rapidly before larry launches himself down the strip. Fantastic effort all round.
Likely switching it to full fuel. They normally run it on a lower fuel setting for the burnout so it doesn’t explode when they close the throttle.
Nitro
Larrys sponsors are always happy
Wow, I might adjust them before as well! John P.
I bet that is a comfortable touring bike
Who are these maniacs standing by with zero ear protection?
That bike is a work of art
- A fan! 👍
The bike is crazy fast and Larry is insane...hump on the bike set his balls between those exhaust pipe just to keep them warm and let it rip.. just a nother record breaking run . The original super hero spiderman .
Excellent accomplishment. Sometimes, Jack you sound kinda' silly. CTFD
Wow the grandstands were completely full standing room only. NHRA events like this have never been so popular
3/16" where the other 320 feet?
That’s crazy, great effort.
That bike is worth a little bit more than my house! And can probably explain why it's slightly faster... ..way to go guys, and congratulations! 😊😅
Hey Jack . when will the spiderman go 270!
When a guy like John Force respects you, that's more than enough for me😅
I can smell the nitro through my phone.... great job...
Sadly no one in the stands, Incredible feat of the human experience!

Awesome stuff
Can someone please tell what the 1/4 mile ET estimate would be on that awesome candles lit the whole way pass?
heard Connie kolletia say, at 1000 ft. they have reached their maximum speed, and it doesn't increase. 1/4 mile run was a waste.
A real super hero. And an inspiration. Amazing. Pop

Do they not have a kevlar cover over the cylinder head, I thought that was introduced a few years back
Going sub 5 in a dragster and a roll cage is one thing, but doing the same exposed on a bike is another thing entirely. A crash equals certain death.
Christ, that kind of acceleration is enough to tear your face off let alone hanging on to the bike.Heart rate must go out the roof.
What a guy Larry is a nice guy to have been knowin him for years god bless him
😂😂 spidermans winky got caught in its web. He had to adjust it a couple times to get it in tbe right position looked like 😂😂
