NITRO HARLEY EATS ENGINE! Inside Pit Access!

“Nitro is not your friend” is a saying that Top Fuel Harley racers know well for good reason. In this video we go behind the scenes and watch as Bob Bognorio’s Supercharged Nitro Harley blows up and destroys a piston and cylinder in only 300 feet. We go back in the pit area to give you inside access as the crew assesses the damage.

Cool pit view of things. Is the blower the unique setup part? Most fuel Harleys are just injected?

[@donstahlschmidt2735]

Y'all need a finish line camera.

These things aren't your average lawn mower. At 98 percent nitro it better be spot on!!!!

[@mr.know_it_all]

Good morning Jack 💪🏼

[@joechancio5177]

Great insight video. They were cool to let you film this so close while working. Most will run you off jack.

Are you at Charlotte Race Park today

[@daveyt4802]

Nitro seems like really tricky to get the fueling correct. Too much and hydro lock.

[@ronaldmeyer5904]

Looks a lot like some of mine. We've had a few. Looking forward to the next race, tho----

[@jamesaucutt8284]

That’s what happens when you race you signed up for it when you entered the racing world so I don’t feel sorry for anyone who deals with that including myself if I do something that I know could cause severe damage well I deserve every bit of what goes wrong because I knew what I got myself into.

[@thomasryan3358]

What's the bore on that

[@jamesaucutt8284]

That’s awesome it happened now they gotta spend more money to fix it lol hahahaha

[@joechancio5177]

The harleys are cool as crap but they do break alot. These guys work their butts off to keep them going. All that power for 2 pistons. Good ol jb weld..lmao.

[@keithcoulbourne350]

Swallow your pride , hire somebody to tune it, u will save money in the long run

[@jontrudell7529]

Very cool

[@mjb12141963]

Spread peanut butter inside the cylinder to make it go faster.

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

It's street outlaws with motorcycles.

[@Msbn-cy3mr]

What is the measurement of the piston???🇲🇾

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

That's why I didn't last long when I tried drag racing -
it's too expensive. You need to be rich and prepared to be poor to do it.

[@cycledrag]

Or have a sponsor. It’s costly for sure

[@Bobby-fj8mk]

@@cycledrag - you need to be wealthy or have a good sponsor or you run it
as part of say an auto repair business and write it off on tax as advertising.
The financial part is something that too many people don't consider and that's
why they drop out after their first season.
The tracks pay too little in prize money to make it profitable.
You end up paying a lot of money to entertain the crowds and
the race track makes most of the money from the gate tickets.
You really have to love the sport to do it.
