Top Fuel Motorcycle THRILLER! 🤩
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 05. 2024
- It’s the semifinal of the brand new NHRA Pingel Top Fuel Motorcycle championship series and we are down to a pair of supercharged, inline four cylinder bikes, Dave Vantine and Mitch Brown, and the incredible v-twin out of Finland owned by Jaska Salakari and ridden 22 year old nitro bike sensation Elmeri Salakari. In this video we will find out who will win the very first NHRA Top Fuel Motorcycle Wally since 1984, we see one heck of a race involving Vantine and personal record speed and we see a little Top Fuel Motorcycle racing gone wrong as Salakari suffers a minor engine explosion. We will follow both teams back to the pits to watch them thrash and see what was the cause of this Top Fuel Motorcycle drag racing gone wrong. #motorcycle #dragracing #topfuel

@@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!

Those Finns I tell you, do not underestimate.
Agree, we only seem to hear about Finnish four-wheeled stars. We need more two-wheeled legends like Jarno Saarinen!
I agree 100%. SISU! If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
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!
the grandstands on the left side of the track were closed down, only open at the end, the right lane stands were packed
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. $$$$$$$
Libs caused the dowfsll=--they run nonstop ads for biden on myu chanel in which I public drag cars--FJB
Jack, the motorcycle world doesn't deserve you. Great energy , excellent reporting, in your spotlighting and interviewing racers and teams.
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.
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!
@@jasonreed9429 Right on! Love power.
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.
@@Matthew-rr4de funny I do ride a v twin I just hate harley
@@Matthew-rr4de as far as the class goes it's a search for parityin E.T., and one of the reasons i love this class!

@@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
First race...the guy won the race all the way down the track!

@@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.
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
Great suggestion. I'll try to do that. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.

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!!
SISU. I'd to come over for a race. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
@@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.
can you tell us if these bikes will b @ bowlinggreen ky this year ?
For the nostalgia race ? If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
This might actually get me back interested in drag racing again. :)
YAY! If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
@@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.
Hope ya got a handful of cash to wear those shades.
It’s a visor!😉
lol. I wish. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
Bret "The Hitman" Hart! @@Headerflame
@@cycledrag Nope, raced a N/A bike back in 90s, never any interest in a fuel bike. Love watching them though.
Want to hear that KTM from JS!! Didn't want it break though..
Top fuel 2 stroke conversion!
1/4 de milha?
Love the NITRO!
Me and you both! If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
@@cycledrag Yes, I probably would try it! Maybe just an eighth mile first though Lol 😂
Does anyone know which next 3 races they're going to be at?
NHRA Virginia, Brainerd and Charlotte. See you here
@@cycledrag damn Maplegrove this year? 😔
Jack my brother....you absolutely tear it up out there man...keep up the great work
I really appreciate it. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
Cough up some $$$ for some better sunglasses Jack...
Those are the BEST! The best there is , the best there was, the best there ever will be - Bret "The Hitman" Hart!
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.
That’s why I love the Indy 500, because, being the greatest race track on earth, there are NO SHORTS allowed in the pits or garage areas
It was hot! lol. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
@@cycledrag sure, looks like fun
Did you by chance get to see the Sick 2.o run and the drag and drive cars? Wondering if you dug them or how you felt about them.
I did see it! Check Cycledrag FB. If given the chance would you ride a Top Fuel Motorcycle? Thanks a lot for watching and subscribing.
@@cycledrag Oh wicked, I will have to see the coverage!
Without a doubt I would, it would surely be an eye opener!
Interesting Larry McBride not out there congratulating…
He was announcing.
AHRA..Was doing it waaay before...

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.
Pengambilan gambar saat balapan Ndak jelas penonton di rumah kurang puas brother
You must know Korpela is a Finnish name,quite common here.
SISU! I want to come over!
@@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.
3500whp R35 Faster than yours.
Vantine
That bike is badass and I love the way it sounds
Sun glasses?

Top Fuel HARLEY ONLY!!!!!
The "Harley" couldn't even finish the race!? I don't inderstand the loyalty to an inferior machine.
Slow
@@benr7002
There are no Harleys in Top Fuel...
Those machines are all custom made...LET'S GO DARWIN
@@bigiron8831 That is what I thought. Thanks
This class was bought and paid for. No Harleys on the property. Rule says superchargers only. Take it for what it's worth. Enjoy the jap show
I say Vanchein

Quarter mile or nothing
Not good debut . .One semi final bye run. Bye run in the final. Liked TFH much better
Give it time. They clearly still put on a good show. Supercharged Nitro Harleys are welcome to run.
I,m a big Fon of Motorcycles , but i see here jus Shit !!!!!
Why do you wear those stupid glasses ?
Homage to Bret "The Hitman" Hart! They are awesome!
What are you riding Jack?
