What a crowd Jack. The biggest crowd I ever saw was in 89-90 US Nationals, I miss my dragbike lots of memories and my buddies boy is racing so following him.
I bet that was huge. This was just insane to see in person. Those stands are so high. Thanks a lot for watching! Have you ever seen Top Fuel Motorcycle live? If so, when, where and what was your impression of it?
@@cycledrag Hi Jack my first top fuel I think was, Ian King many years ago at SantaPod, many years later I went to Gainsville I watched Mr Larry Mcbride (spiderman) for the first time! Chris hannon ( Cannon). Was racing his funny bike out there, After that trip all be it over 20 years ago, The bug started, Drag racing Turbo nitrous street bikes did not cut the mustard any more, so it was then onto kawasaki turbo nitrous funny bike for me! 🏁🇬🇧🏁 Ps I can remember my eyes lighting up when I noticed the Huge Pingle trailer with way to many shinny bits! To say the least my credit card got a Hamering! 😂💷
Hey Jack if you come to perth motorplex Western Australia during the second half of the 2023-2024 season I’ll be there racing my debut season, western nationals would be a good one to come to 👍
I wish NHRA would give the TF bikes a slot at more NHRA events. Most of the world has no idea what an amazing show these guys out on. Top Fuel bikes are the meanest machines on planet earth, along with TF boats. Let’s hope more money and attention comes their way, so we can all enjoy the show these gladiators put on. They risk their lives doing this, the least we can do is appreciate and REWARD these individuals while they entertain us! Thanks for the video!
@@cycledrag unfortunately, I have not seen anyone that fast in person, the closest to any of that was injected alcohol turbo funny bike that a guy I worked for had.
Happy New Year to all. May this year be a Year of Healing and Unity... and may Health and Happiness fill each day. Thanks for all you do for our Viewing Pleasure. Great Coverage, once again.
Have a great new year Jack. Larry and Dave are pure class acts and both living legends . Glad to see them all at a race like this under the lights. What a crowd. Tracks everywhere could take a lesson from these guys, they really know how to put on a show and more than that , FILL the stands. More of this please! Save our racecars. RPM ACT
@@cycledrag No brother ,not seen one live ,would love to tho ,definitely going to have to get to a strip and see it in the flesh so to speak,I love it jack 😎
Can't wait to get back to Australia. Thanks a lot for watching! Have you ever seen Top Fuel Motorcycle live? If so, when, where and what was your impression of it?
Yes I saw Top Fuel Motorcycles at the Willowbank Dragstrip in Queensland, a few years ago... I love them.. My love of drag racing goes back to the early 1970's.... back in the days of the - (now long gone) - Surfer's Paradise Dragstrip on the Queensland Gold Coast. I never missed an event there. I used to ride my Honda CB750 - Four, 310 miles to get to the track. They were great days. One distinct memory from there, was seeing an American - E.J. Potter ("The Michigan Madman")... tearing down the drag strip @150 mph, on a motorcycle, powered by a V8 car engine. Cheers th-cam.com/video/SWgv_1DCNFg/w-d-xo.html
@@cycledrag No, and ironic because I dig it so much because of You.. I live in Mn and we have really only BIR (Brainerd Int Raceway). I hope it comes here. Seen a lot of top fuel funny and drag though. Thanks for Your dedication.
@@cycledrag I started going to the drags in Sweden when I was in my teens around '77-'78 and after moving to California I went to Baylands Dragway a few times and my favorites were the local H.A. which always used to be there with their bike. After emigrating to Canada I met John Force a few times at the tracks in Ontario(Canada). The girls were just little ones of course but always around. An amazing family simply, so dedicated and fun. After many years now back in Sweden I try to go to the most fantastic dragway I've experienced, Tierp, as often as the weather allows it and Per Bengtsson w the Beast as well as the outstanding Jaaska is of course top of my list. The ground pounding of the Beasts parallell twin is just something out of the ordinary and I just hope this season will be the one for Jaaska. You should try to visit Tierp Arena! I really hope it will last as the economy is going sideways now. I still think Peter Svensson is the greatest considering the major budget differences.
That was SO COOL seeing the T/F bike guys get the spotlight on them at a "big show" event, it even brought a tear to my eyes! I've never seen that before, but I've only been watching T/F MC since the 70's🤗
@@cycledrag I was the crew chief for B&M Cycles. We raced the AHDRA from 1991-2000 Progas #3 1995-1997 B&M cycles. Then in 1997-2000 Emery Racing TopFuel.. I first watched Larry in Bifflo, Florida. He had the first Spiderman bike 1992. He was racing prostar then against the late great Elmer Trett. Jim McClure, Ray Price

john force came up from a poor kid life but got wa he wanted, the way he started was the way of the American dream. I was born a motor head, but raised in a very abusive life, I was beaten for wanting to wrench on small engines at age 6. in my grade school years i was passed off to my grand dad, and he was the grandest man ever in my life. he ran a wrecking yard. given a few wrenches from dawn to dusk I was building a race car (IN MY IMAGINATION) but i would have to go back to my controller deciders who shut down those ideas, high school years could not have a car because it was thought i would kill everyone on the road. yes I had a need for speed . the chances to work machine shop engine building were takin away buy the controllers ,, but any one reads this I tell you what,, If my life took the course that was meant to be..im the same age as force and i would be there today racing against him, I would want to beat him just because he's there. and we would be good friends. lol maybe?
So very glad both these men are safe and full of wisdoms to not panic, holding on through the ride. Great video and commentary.
Click bait. What went ''horribly'' wrong?
That was great thank you all so much guys congratulations Larry Mcbride!
For sure stop the click bait dude bad times

Click bait. You need to learn the definition of the word horrible. 2 bikes ending up in the gravel trap isn't horrible. It's racin'.

@@cycledrag I have not seen live motorcycle racing for quite a while. Wichita KS.
Just watched a Big Daddy Don Garlits interview where he said the biggest problem in Drag racing is the tracks with too short of a shut down track'

Here I always thought Brembo was the brake of choice - seems to be for street tho. I'm not a racer, just a twistie shredder, performance cruiser.
Hey Jack. Where are all the race fans’? Hoping New England Dragway in Epping N.H. stays open. I know money is tight for people.Sad.
wow great racing.
Less Interviews, less mouth, more action. It's what counts.
I wouldn’t want to sit close to the exhaust that would suck if they got burnt

Let's do the math. 6 seconds each on 20 runs for record gives a total of 2 minutes flat.
A career of 2 minutes is a little short for me.

Good to see Bugs Bunny get beat at the end.

Time to move these bikes to 1000 feet racing.... too fast to stop them now.
No, make the shut down area longer.
