I lived in Greece 16 years, it's so awesome to see a Greek riding a Fuel machine, this is like first time in history, wow !! 😎💪🇬🇷 Ο Φίλλιπος πού εννοείται βρε παιδιά πως πάντα παίρνει την πρωτιά !
Most people don't even realize how fast going a 10-second quarter-mile is compared to most 'fast' cars, etc. They have ridden in and so on. Anything that's running 8 seconds or in this case in the sixes, is just absolutely insane especially without wheelie bars! Badass stuff!!
I am all for going as fast as possible but I like seeing mid 7 second bikes AND they can go rounds. Trying to run mid 6's takes the money factor to another level.. anyone can afford to put a bike together without tons of electronics and go 7's 💪💪💪 keep the sport alive!
just so you know if you are filming drag racing get the tree as they move into the beams to light pre stage and staged so we can watch the leave as the tree comes down - - when you have equally matched machines cutting the tree can be the difference . Too late for some of these races but for future reference plus you get to see who gets just on the beam and who stages deep which can light the evil red eye
I am old enough to remember when that was a good time for a Funny Car or a Top Fuel. God damn, doing that on 2 wheels. These guys are human cannonballs on wheels.
They will use alcohol or gas depending on how cold it is. On Blown Alcohol cars and even blow nitro cars, we use alcohol and it was real cold we used gas
@@dmeemd7787 thanks for the reply man. I noticed it sounds different as he sprays then when he stops it really came alive. Man I bet these things are awesome to see in person
@@jakegregory388 yeah the other thing I should have mentioned is they started with gas or alcohol basic way to get the motor running since you can't really start an engine directly on Nitro. Certain injected Nitro classes, non supercharged, they will run them and alcohol for fifteen to Thirty Seconds to build some extra heat before switching over to Nitro. And you're exactly right, will there be a bike or car you can definitely hear when they switch over to the main fuel source :-)
Exactly, if they try to start it on Nitro it would potentially fire backwards and other things that aren't good, Plus it's mechanical fuel pump and they need to build fuel pressure. Some classes like a/fuel dragster, start the car on alcohol and actually let it run on alcohol for 30 seconds or so give or take before switching to nitro - to get some extra heat into the heads, because they are RREEEAAALLLLY high compression vs. blown fuel stuff (2 wheels or 4 wheels 😁)
Why is there no shield between the rider and the motor If the motor comes apart its gonna cut the rider in half The shield wouldn't even weight that much and not hurt aerodynamics at all Norcal
Chett Smith that "cut the rider in half" thing never happened since people started to ride bikes to drag race and never will happen with no shield. You have some brutal imagination.
@@artraymond8242 It never happened until it does happen Play racer pay racer Safety first Remember this conversation when a rider gets killed But then again its not your ass getting killed This was more of an observation as far as a fellow racer. I don't drag race but i do road race on the track. With the HP there running at some point an engine is gonna detonate thats just common sense
Chett Smith when these bikes come apart they fall out the bottom & sometimes the side. I’ve been doing this for over 55 years. I’ve never seen a bike motor go up.

Thank You! So positive and actual reports... Santa Pod is our home raceway . Hope to see you soon again
North Mississippi loves your videos

Yeah, it looks so easy on UA-cam..
@@gertnood exactly! :-)
😊😊😊 to all 😁🤘🏻
Always the best bike drag videos ..... period!
This photographer needs to get the damned tree in the frame! Love the sound, but the competition is what we're here for. Let us see the jump!
V. E. The tree & he could have zoomed really quickly out to speeds & times also..
@@ltsgarage7780 Yes I agree it's good to see when they will take off and also see the times
Steve has left the building!!
2nd. And on the edge of my seat! LOVE CYCLEDRAG!
great content as always, thanks!
Man i love this sport 💪

Drag race has soul
Spectacular video ' J ' Awesome 👍😉

😍 how i wish to see this in live ""someday ""
Some very quick bikes.
7:00 "I don't understand English, Rita's over there, she knows...!" For anyone wondering what he said...
💥💥💥
5.86 are you kidding me, why is this not in the states
Love to see him against spider man

Those first couple of bikes? Jeez! Is that what they’re for? I been riding mine to work!
LOL
Where's my sticker? I would definitely display on my electraglide.
So what makes this video one we wont forget...?
7:45 I like that pant job
2:00 mark is that gas he sprays down the intake before they switch to nitro or alcohol?
They will use alcohol or gas depending on how cold it is. On Blown Alcohol cars and even blow nitro cars, we use alcohol and it was real cold we used gas

Its acetone, all nitromethane engine need it to start up
Its the best Drag Strip in europ
Most of the bikes seem like the motors are kinda of studdering and I’m not talking about the 2step
Wen u thought u have seen it all...
Hey could you put some dates sometime
@5:38 Is that a lace spoke wheel?
I've already forgot it
Maybe a stupid question, but how do they shift gears? by hand ?
Luigi164 they are air switched on a timer.
Where can I find those stickers?
My question is, being that is the U.K, is it a kilometer they are racing or the mile since they don't use miles.
Miles it ain’t possible to run 6’s at 195kmh
At 1:51 what is that being sprayed into the intake manifold
they will use alcohol or gas depending on how cold it is
They spray Alcohol in the intake because the engine won't fire up on nitro, so they spray the alcohol until it starts.
Exactly, if they try to start it on Nitro it would potentially fire backwards and other things that aren't good, Plus it's mechanical fuel pump and they need to build fuel pressure.

Play racer pay racer
Safety first
Remember this conversation when a rider gets killed
But then again its not your ass getting killed

Get Guy Martin on one of these.
4:00 I don’t recognize what that is the thing in front of his foot
Magyarok hol vagytok??
U k not my favorite place to be closed my store I had there good riddins.
Omg
what was so shocking? CLICK BAIT
Maybe the USA does not have all the fast bikes
Is merica not the center of the universe then?😂
