Can remember Sammy Miller (at Santa Pod UK) was standing in fire-up road watching Henk Vink. Sammy says " You would,nt get me on one of those crotch rockets!!"
I like how all of the competitors come over and congratulate them. Racing people are a nice group of people and always have been. I left my boots at home one day and my fiercest competitor who I didn’t like because he beat me all the time, heard about it and came over to loan me his spare boots. I felt guilty racing the guy after that. He still be beat and I learned a lot about friendship. I wish that all politicians and everyone in the world for that matter got into motorcycle racing and we would be a much better place.
And by "other level" did you mean the 25 mph difference in trap speeds?? Do you have an anxiety attack when you leave surface streets and enter the freeway??

If that engine grenades, it can kill. If a tire blows, it can kill. If a bearing fails, it can kill. If it stays together, runs perfect, but veirs in either direction, it can kill. Call it what you want. It's a killer
Wow! Someone’s been putting in overtime on the homework. Steve’s reaction is priceless and well earned. Been kewl to see Larry’s reaction to seeing the time slip.
I used to be on a Drag Bike team almost 30 years ago called Turbo Jims Racing. He ran a turbo charged methyl-alcohol bike. 6 seconds @200ish mph was a fast bike back then. We ran mid 6's usually. I miss it sooooooooo much!
The bike engines are pushed to point of being powerful yet durable enough for multiple runs. TF drag, FC's, and hydroplanes are pushed just short of breaking (catastrophically). If you compare HP/Liter you have 1.5 liter bike vs 8.2 liter car or 1,500 HP bike vs 11,000 HP car which equals 1000 HP/L vs 1341 HP/L. I feel you though .. I wouldn't care to have such highly stressed parts between legs and under chest. Safer I spose that the blower and injection system runs into side of head instead of V8 style from the top between the banks. Falling off for what ever reason at 200 mph on up .. also wouldn't excite me
That's awesome I used to drag race when I was still in high school at irwindale and Orange county in Southern California, and raced and rubbed elbows with all the biggest players including Terry Vance and Byron Hines long before Vance & Hines. They were working for RC engineering (Russ Collins) At that time Russ Collins was running a custom double 750 Honda (made into a V8) with a Buick V6 blower, and double chains. I only saw him run a 7 second quarter mile but I'm sure it had potential to go faster. He kept breaking chains. I guess the moral to the story is that it's absolutely unbelievable how much different things are today versus 40 years ago!!
@lancelanphier9509 I probably met you at one time or another. I set a record at Fremont in B gas. Kawi 4, carbs, gas and a Kosman frame. 9.42 @ 142 MPH (1975). I knew those guys you are talking about.
... no words can explain wtf i just witnessed. But i can tell u this.. any man or woman who settles in on a second 1/4 mile..is good in my book. Godspeed.
Great run of great guys. Quickest wheel driven quartermile bike ever.... only one guy on earth went faster: Frenchman Eric Teboul with his hydrogen peroxide rocket bike went 4,9 on his last run ever, then retired at age 67. Also a great one!
I used to work with a guy that did this. He said you never get used to the insane adrenaline rush. Doesnt matter how many times you do it. Its scary as hell.
Just a couple of weeks ago my daughter and I found joy in motor sports. The chemistry, physics, geometry. Most of the energy and fusion of human and machine. Team work and dedication to achieve a goal. Blood, Sweat and Combustion Engines
Fantastic video. I'm 78 yrs. Old and still a drag racing fan. Amazing how far technology has come. Congratulations on new record. 😁😁
Technology has ruined the sport.....and put it out of reach for most.....99.9%

Keep on keepin'on.
Bike went straight he didn't have to lean to keep it straight. It was on a record pass from go!🔥
Larry, his brother, and the rest of the crew and sponsorship are UNREAL!
That is INCREDIBLE! I can't believe you could get anybody to ride one of those! LOL

I would love the opportunity. And yeah, I raced drag bikes for several years, though nothing anywhere near that speed.
I love speed and have always said I would love to drive a top fueler but those top fuel bikes are a little above my crazy level! LOL@@justjames9775
Been watching drag racing my entire life. As an old guy, this never gets old.
Been watching drags since 69.🤗
Balls of steel
Amen Brother! 👊 😎
Actually tungsten. About 2.3X more dense than steel.
Flat steel, considering the G-force squashing them between the seat and the rider
No, they removed the balls to save weight.
Elephant balls 😮😂
Larry the “SPIDERMAN” has been breaking records for a long time no doubt! CONGRATULATIONS TO LARRY AND HIS AWESOME TEAM!!!!
ขอสอบถามหน่อยครับ ทำไมนักแข่งและทีมแข่งส่วนมากจะมีอายุ40-60ปีครับ
ต่างจากที่ประเทศไทย นักแข่งและทีมแข่งจะอยู่ในช่วงวัยรุ่น13-38ปี

Did the rider ever return?

The NHRA fans are going to luv these things ,, the Harley's were cool but this is on another level.
Pretty sure NHRA fans have heard of top fuel motorcycle racing...
It's just a ramped up version on the nitro Harley class anyways...
And by "other level" did you mean the 25 mph difference in trap speeds??
Do you have an anxiety attack when you leave surface streets and enter the freeway??
@@codymoe4986yeah,,thats what they will luv,,the "ramped up"part ,,that and they repeat and usually make it down the track..hope this helps.

What engine is this?
5.5 @ 264 That's INCREDIBLE!
You know he made a pass when his brother jumps up on the tree 🤣🤣🤣
Congrats guy
Thanks for the coverage as always, Jack.! Hats off to Larry & Steve.. Making dreams. Salute ✋️
To the crew as well.
Say it Again Jack Rocks ❤
Would have loved to seen Larry’s reaction in the shut down area immediately after the run

Larry will ride into another dimension if he goes any faster
Laying on top of a freakin' BOMB!!!
The is not a single explosion happening so no. yet you can combust to the bones so i guessit's like riding a dragon

He’s an absolute legend. So glad I had the opportunity to see him live. Miss those days.

Pretty sad that there's no people in the stands😢
It was testing.
Even more respect..
Their home watching American idol listening to people singing with pitch correction and Auto-Tune
Their loss
They still heard it.
Every time i see spiderman make a pass i have to giggle.
Congratulations on new record I'm 76 yrs of of age and still enjoy drag racing.
Its CRAZY how old he is and still doing it.
YOUNG PEOPLE MUST START RIDING.
GIVE MORE SPONSORSHIPS ITS THE ONLY WAY
How old is the rider ? Having to hold on for dear life would give me a anxiety attack.
@@sux2bu883 Spirdeman is 76
its too expensive to do it now, as a young person. its not the lack of will but lack of money. racing is a rich mans sport.

laying out over a nitromethane engine stressed to the limit, what could go wrong?
Probably why they wear a protective vest....

I'm 68 and that is the best drag race I have ever seen. The sound alone sends chills down my back.
That's awesome

Damn you must be old like me! Whatever happened to the ''Funny Bike'' class? I remember they had it in the old IDBA races at Atco, NJ.
terrible crew.

Perfect pass. That thing was FLYING.
Wow, that motorcycle took off like a sling shot. Amazing acceleration and speeds.
Thanks for the video.
HELL YEAH BOYEEEE!! You got in there and you got you some giddyup didn't you?! Get on in there and get you some more. Fantastic run. Judges say 10.0🏆
greatest motorcycle race team in history
Perfect tune, pre shot by the numbers, textbook pass riding. Well done, guys. Damn that bike's fast.
I'm a new rider, just passed the MSF. This is gonna be my first bike, I feel like 400cc is too slow.
Amazing Drag Bike: fires up
Me: Oooohhhhh so sassy
why is no one talking about the guy that tripped at 1:46 XDDD hope hes fine lol
What an Incredible run
A beautiful pass. Can't imagine all of the variables in that suspension setup that had to be just right. Awesome!
you can feel that adrenaline rush through the screen
I don't even know how he stays on it with balls that big!!
legend says that the pilot crossed into another dimension...
... no words can explain wtf i just witnessed.
But i can tell u this.. any man or woman who settles in on a second 1/4 mile..is good in my book.
Godspeed.
Imagine bear hugging a screaming engine flying through the air at 265 mph
Seeing him run at indianapolis before that thing is awesome larry spider man mcbride
I'm not much of a motorcycle maniac, however NITRO gets the blood flowing no matter what it's in!
The crankling exhaust note is a telling sign of how powerful that motor is!
1700 horsepower.....and while 5.50 is the 1/4 mile record, McBride has since gone faster - 268mph. Unbelievable.
That crackling exhaust note is typical for when they run Nitro Methane...
The candles stayed lit and he was straight great hit
Perfection, doesn't happen often but you know when you see it. Must have been a ride to feel it.
Awesome! And I don’t recall hearing a two-speed on that thing before.
Good one I'm wondering what the heck myself I' have never got to see Larry at a event but I have never heard his bike do that before?
Amazing. I have never seen anything get small so quick.
Can't believe I didn't hear a single Yank scream God Bless America.... Yanks are different level 😂😂
That was GREAT ROAR!!! Congrats!!!
Man what a perfect pass! Nice job guys!
Great job Larry "Spiderman" and Steve McBride!
🔥 🎉 🎉 😎 🍻 😎 🎉 🎉 🔥
Holy Sh*t !!! Now that's a ROCKET !!!!
There's a guy who up until last year, used to race an actual rocket bike at Santa Pod Raceway, which is even quicker than this bike.
4 races is not enough ,these bikes need to be on a world stage at every nhra event I can't wait for new england hooe they go there !!!
Made my YEAR
Congratulations Larry !
What's even more amazing is how the track stays in business .
Where's all the spectators?
Its testing - it does say that above! @@flyingmerkel6
Now we all know you know nothing about SGMP.
@@22Pachanga I'm not insulted by not knowing about this track and wish the best for them .
Says above it was testing.
Spider-Man is as young as he ever been unbelievable what a beautiful run perfect run
Legend has it Spider-Man’s clutch got stuck and he rode up the sides of buildings. It’s true, it’s all on the web🤣
Bro didn’t expect to go back to the future dressed like Spider-Man
That was awesome! He has to have complete trust in that engine as he’s laid over it! Just thinking if anything pops!
Respect. I hope you guys keep beating your own record, therefore the whole world.
Are you _sure_ that is a motorcycle? It kinda looks like an engine with wheels as an afterthought 😂
Couldn't make out the clock and what was the time and mph?
The perfect run. Jack - what's the difference between Cycle Drag and Racing Jack channels? Why two channels?
I could feel Steve’s yeah yeah yeah through the video great job to best in the world
Congratulations Larry and team
OMG WHAT A MACHINE INSANE GUTS AND BALLS TO RIDE SUCH A POWERFUL MONSTER BIKE!!!
Great run of great guys. Quickest wheel driven quartermile bike ever.... only one guy on earth went faster: Frenchman Eric Teboul with his hydrogen peroxide rocket bike went 4,9 on his last run ever, then retired at age 67. Also a great one!
UNREAL...! 2 Wheeled rocketship!!
Thank you for your videos. safe travels
Run was made 21 November 2019!
Any idea what this time would convert to on the 300m / 1000 foot track?

Sounds A LOT like the yellow jackets that chased me down the street.
I'm recovering... slowly

Fantastic teamwork, incredible machine, awesome driver!
I love drag racing and that looked really fast on tv and im sure even faster in person very impressive great performance
Candles were perfect! What a pass!
Insane. That engine goes pop ots taking you with it.. nuts.
Dont worry incase he is thrown off the vehicle he can use his spider web
I used to work with a guy that did this. He said you never get used to the insane adrenaline rush. Doesnt matter how many times you do it. Its scary as hell.

So good to see such a fabulous audience head count in the stands...
Awesome Larry & Steve - you guys are the kings of Drag Racing. 🤘
the video preview says 1/ mile - (1,320 feet)
the text says 1000 feet.
Which is it?
First class, thank you very much
Man that bike pulled hell.
What a team Spider-Man has top-notch old school
Spiderman side missions are getting wild
Larry McBride is a Legend! and a super nice guy!
Iv watch this over few years now, still can't believe how that machine hits crazy as
Terrific job! That is an incredible accomplishment! God bless you all!
Saw him in Orlando. Awesome !
If that run doesn’t give you the chills, then you’re dead
Or perhaps not a fan of drag racing. That could also be possible
Oh my God I have not seen anything like this in the motorcycle drag bikes.
Spiderman doesn't drive a motorcycle. We swings from webs.
