In the states NHRA totally nurffed all 4 cylinder bikes because Hardly Drivables couldn't keep up

[@tonyrussell1026]

Some of those terminal speeds look seriously low to me.

[@janschie6364]

What kind of engine does Chris have ?

[@Lumby1]

It's a superbly tuned supercharged four cylinder Triumph, running Top Fuel, unlike anything you could buy off the shelf.

[@kawythowy867]

That white bike looks ridiculous...I’m sure it works great buuuuuuuut......🤪

Aerodynamics can be your best friend + it does hide the secrets to Top Fuel!
