To ALL involved in bringing the TF/B's to NHRA a huge THANK YOU!. Now if we could get a full firld of fuel alterds, along with nostalgia funny car, and nostalgia top fuel dragster all at the same event what a night of qualifying that would make!
@@cycledrag iF MY HEALTH RETURNS(I HAVE BEEN IN A NURSING HOME FOR 6 YEARS DUE TO B.S. ISSUES HERE IN fL) I would certainly be willing to give it a shot, i am aware the price is high for mistakes/failures, etc, but i doubt much on this planet would equal the excitement of a tf/b, i would love to see them open the rules to allow Chris Moore in , maybe @ a Man Cup event where prep would work in his favor, but again YES, i would try, i LOVE THE VARIETY, AND INGENUITY IN TF/B! the more out of the box the better!
BTW- thank you for your dedication and passion to the sport! You are helping to make headway in drag racing. Pleas don’t stop. You’re doing an incredible thing! Someday, these warriors will make more money than they are spending. Stay the course! NHRA needs to introduce this category to the fans!
Jaska's V2 is a deighn of his own ,and has set numerous records across Europe, do not underestimate his bikes, i think there are 3 or 4, 3 of which i have seen articles/video of them taking their riders into the 5s , if my understanding is correct they are 120 to 140 ci 4 valve per cylinder , efi (The vwizards @ Fuel Tech), screw blown V2's of Jaska Salakari's own desighn, the other 4 cylinder bikes, are Puma based, or Dave Alwine (Mika Fenwick)based inline 4 cylinders,all of which make stunning power, it would be awesome to see the triple from europe,and some blown nitro H D's maybe even the ultra slick aero ride of Jay Upton's come race!
Why are you concerned with comparing the two? Rotating mass weight, rod length, cubic inches/displacement, chassis weight., rider weight and many many other factors determine et. All other things being equal, its all a mathematical equation. Why would there be a need for bias between the two? You don't like a v-twin, don't ride a v-twin.
Seeing these gladiators racing in front of mostly empty grandstands breaks my freaking heart! These are the most dedicated, crazy, passionate drag racers in the world. They literally face death with every run. And yet…they wouldn’t want it any other way! Please, can we start a petition or something to give theses gladiators an invitation to the BIG show? These gladiators deserve top billing at all NHRA nationals. Perhaps they are afraid that the fans will realize that the top fuel motorcycle racers are the best show in earth! Please please please…..get these folks a chance at the BIG SHOW!
NHRA isn't too far behind NASCAR in their cronyism. Don't hold your breath waiting for them to do anything other than cater to their well-established favorites. $$$$$$$
A special thank you to cycledrag from someone that can't get out and about much anymore. Great coverage great interviews always a little something for everyone in the videos. Safe travels
@@cycledrag I'm 72 years old retired disabled I'm not sure I'd be physically up to making a run I'd really want to. Then asking the spider man for his ok before attempting a pass at any age would be mandatory for me. Short answer yes it be the ounce in a life time adrenaline rush. After a few years of not being able to ride my road motorcycles my wonderful friends put training wheels on one. I took the first ride yesterday it's so shockingly different going to take time to adjust to the training wheels. A motor trike conversion for my 2002 road king is at the top of my wishlist. I'm so lucky to have friends that got me out of the house by surprising me with the training wheels install. I know this is way more than you ask for in your question,HA !!! Have a most wonderful holiday weekend

@@cycledrag Asked and Answered CD! I've been riding or driving all types of motorized vehicles for 50yrs was 3yrsold riding starting and fixing a old Honda mini trail z50 ,10 second cars,300kmh cars,200mph motorcycles..fast sketchy boats, crazy fast skidoos....YES....I WOULD RIDE THE WHEELS OFF A TOP FEAL DRAG BIKE...OR HAVE ONE HELL OF LAST RIDE TRYING! HIT 1 IF YOU FEEL ME!
I drag raced for over 15 yrs here in Finland and Salakari team always broke their bike.I am just thrilled to see them break bikes in second generation.What a perseverance!!
@@cycledrag I am car guy but love all kinds of drag racing.I tried a 3 cyl 2 stroke Kawa once and straight to ditch.That was my bike career in a nutshell.
@@cycledrag Yes, I'd consider taking a run. To be honest, I was thinking about a drag bike about a year ago. Wife suggested I go back to dirt track. Four wheels. Roundy round.
@@cycledrag man sorry this is late. Answer is prob not my experience with 2 wheels is limited to riding dirtbikes growing up id kill myself on one of these
@@cycledrag Given I’m not a regular motorcycle rider, this is probably not where I would start, but yes…yes I absolutely would, this looks so incredible.
Excellent coverage of this extremely demanding sport. It would be great if you could divulge more tech info (would love to know if the inline 4 and the V2 are based upon production motors etc) Keep spreading the word, love from England
If given the chance, absofuckinlutely! But at 6ft 4" small I'm probably bigger than the entire bike 😂 I'll have a go at anything faster than walking speed but I can't be held responsible for any disasters caused by it. Speed isn't the problem. I own an RS6. It's the hanging on with out peeling off at 200mph and becoming the world's first human skin kite.
@@cycledrag Our top fuel series is quite big for a small country.My town s local boys ran 6.68 at 334 kmh with na nitro harley.That rider got into racing in my 64 blown Malibu.

I was thinking: how can a v-twin compete with an inline 4? Then I realized it can't. I went from a V4 to a V-Twin and I miss the V4.

Without a doubt I would, it would surely be an eye opener!
What happened to the full 1/4 mile?
Majority voted for 1,000. Larry and Dave wanted 1/4 but hopefully the shorter distance encourages others to try.
Excellent video jack and crew
