I get that these bikes are not as fast as the top fuel dragsters, but they *look* faster. Maybe it's because they're smaller. With these bikes, taking off from the start line, it really is a case of "blink and you'll miss it". Massive respect to anyone who gets on one of these monsters.

They moved the engine behind the driver for safety creating the rail car. Funny cars are inherently more dangerous because the motor is in front of you, but laying on top of a nitro motor in my opinion is one of the most insane things that man has come up with, and these guys do it on a regular basis, NUCKIN FUTS!!!

On a side note, the moped had an E.T. of 152.24@24.32 mph at Florida Motorplex

Great video. As a TV cameraman who does the RF startling camera at the Group 1 events, it's cool to see some insight like this.

That was one thing that Don pruhdome done at tracks they were at, set out back behind trailer, they set the front wheel down just before finish line, it's crazy at the 1/4 mile mark

I had a top alcohol dragster and I was at a national dragster event in Kearny Nebraska and back in 2003 that track had like grass growing up thru cracks it was the sketchiest strip I've ever raced. So anyways after several passes albeit extremely bumpy and made my back hurt, I was still consistent and fast, until the semi final.... Went down the track and right as I passed about the 1000ft I hit a bump and my air intake bounced and touched my right rear wheel and the wheel ripped it off and threw it under the engine wrapping my fuel line around the block... O__O then it backfired and WHOOOOOF big pop and lots of fire. Wasn't scary like this but man when you've got a motor making that much pressure that close to you when it goes off? Yeah you remember that shit lol.

I can attest, in my Go Kart days, running fuel, I bench tested my engine with my Nitro mix, got running and it started to over rev, had 2 carbs I closed off the intakes, it kept on over reving with intakes closed off, I then pulled the fuel lines, luckily it did not come apart or cause damage, but in the races I burned holes in 2 pistons.

What a ride fast as hell

Ohh noo. It is a danderous mix. Use to use gas-ahol in my uncle's race car in the day. In the 80's to 90's. Dirt track late model. Did not win by the way was young, run average 4 to 6th. Once second in that Camaro ASA chassie.

And that's why wearing a ballistic vest is so important! "The Judge" found out and started wearing one!

I'm gonna pause this video right now at 6:08 and say, YES ABSOLUTELY Larry McBride's beautiful Star makes profound unfathomable horsepower. BUT, in line 4's produce very smooth power in my opinion, compared to the 45° vtwin single crank pin with a firing order that makes you scratch your head. Plus, the low end torque (60ft-120ft) I'm guessing is much more violent than Spiderman's bike. Has he ever rode aT/F Harley? If not,then he can't really answer that question. Honestly, both scare me a little. But man I sure would LOVE to learn!!

@@cycledrag the shock is when nitro explodes and is destroying all that fine engineering in milliseconds is mind blowing all that fine measurements and fine balancing and tuning and you have to start all over again but it’s in the game. My respect to all the guys that have the guts to ride this monstermotorcycles and give the fans what they need the excitement and the records. Take care dragster people we love you.

With more power comes more torque which in turn reduces handling. As you roll on the throttle and release the clutch, that torque which launches the bike also raises that front tire (countered by the wheelie bar) ever so slightly. That rise is a loss of front handling. Your basically wheeling down the track at 8.5ft/.10sec

That was the best run

Nitromethane is unstable. The Germans first used it, before WW2, in a skinny fabric tire Formula 1 car of the day. It was created to be a strong cleaning solvent, which it is as well. It took the Germans OVER WD40 attempts. Created by accident in the end, kinda like Champagne. Its a party in the fuel tank, but it's gotta be timed right or it sprays expensive parts all over everyone. No unscheduled hot copper cladding embedded in my thigh, thank you much.

Are you using 15%-30% nitro *fuel* or an actual NOS bottle connected to a jet spraying into the carb? I have many nitro motors and want to run NOS through it but haven't gotten far with it.

Petrol and especially diesel don't really _want_ to go "bang!" - they take a lot of encouragement and forcing just the right conditions before they'll comply. Nitro _REALLY WANTS_ to go bang and doesn't take much excuse for it to go "I thank you kindly, sir ... aaand BANG!" 😂 There's a few more volatile compounds out there, but those aren't even close to being suitable as a fuel source. Nitro is about as dangerous as you wanna ever get. At least in something that doesn't have a literal rocket bolted to it LOL

Oh the drama!

Nitro is to your friend

Literally tempting fate over and over and then being surprised when something goes wrong is just dumb! Play with fire and you might get burned.

It's an old movie with a bad joke. "Do you like motorcycles? No I just like big things between my legs". These are big things that can take your leg off. These guys have cahones of stainless steel.

The tire wall is a safety feature to stop runaway machines. The issue was that the bike was STILL under power. It wouldn't shut down.

Why are these bikes soo slow? 4.38 and its a 1/8 mile? I expected like 6 sec for a 1/ mile

The cycle that ran off the track into the water is the track's fault. Poor safety conditions.
