  • Larry “Spiderman” McBride made the most of his first NHRA drag racing appearance in nearly 20 years as he set a world record for speed on Top Fuel Motorcycle at a staggering 268 mph. In this video we explain how Top Fuel Nitro Bike ended up back in the NHRA, we will see a major Top Fuel Motorcycle fail and explosion in match race No. 1 when a belt is shredded and get an inside look in the pits and the media suite at the NHRA Virginia Nationals as drag bike history is made in front of the world.

      @@cycledrag My first bike was a 1980 Kawasaki 750LTD, jet kit, "high fire" coils, Kerker 4 into 1 open baffle, 1" drag bar. Later on I lowered it and stretched it 6 over. The sound of an open 4 into 1 got in my bones, it gives me chills still to this day. I've had many different bikes since that one, but for me, there's just nothing like the old Japanese bikes.

    Man what a humble and fast spokesperson for the whole drag racing community. I’ve got mad respect for Larry and Steve and the rest of the crew. Me and Larry are both the same age; this one for the old guys. I’m stoked that the NHRA stepped up offering the fans a taste something special. Brought a smile seeing other NHRA drivers and crews right there for it all. From a Z1 owner to a KZ owner; thanks Jack for all your enthusiasm for all cycle drag racers worldwide.

      My love of bikes Jack started when I was quite young, probably around 10 riding my cousin's little Suzuki 50. I always admired my brother's baby blue 1972 H2 he had and that was the bike that left life long impression on me. When. I turned 16 like yourself I purchased a 1978 Suzuki Ts250, what a feeling of freedom that bike gave me for a couple years. From that point on I've had alot of bikes and will continue admire everyone's rides as I know what they mean to their owners.

      @@cycledrag My intro to the bike world came to be at Woodburn Dragstrip as my dad went to see an old coworker from his time in Oregon. We arrived at the strip to see his old Wiley friend with a leg cast from an incident a few days before, with his idea it was only cracked not broken so wire my leg to the right side peg my left can still shift. Well the track wasn't having it and his twin engine shovel was a shoe in for winning as long as it broke the beam. I was 16 and the same size as him and pretty enthusiastic so his leathers were tried on and helmet located and the kid was straddling a twin engine nitro shovel firing it Wed midday, his local truckers physical physician signed off and I learned to shift and launch that Thur on an old Aeromachi in the gravel driveway by Friday around noon he gave me the green light to go out to the 330ft and shutoff, bad luck amongst the 4 others placed me in Q2 and against the guy who might have won if he went 3 rounds. So Sunday after a few more 330ft passes I was allowed to line up and told just leave on solid green and shutoff when the bike was getting uncomfortable to handle, well I made it 600ft and won the round and second round I had a bye with another 330ft and with third round I red lit trying to beat the light. I didn't ride again until just last year when I bought my dream 2001 Gilroy Scout and it's going to be back together in July just in time for my 41st birthday with a 113 kit, custom turbo kit, a Holley sniper EFI throttle body on custom pop can cast manifold. So my goal is the James Thurber Shootout 2023 to be back in contention to beat the light on two wheels and maybe be top dawg on Sunday. So I'll be looking for that sticker at the track.
