- Enjoy the most comprehensive, in-depth Top Fuel Nitro Motorcycle Drag Bike showcase that has ever been produced. On this journey we give you a VIP pass for unprecedented pit access at the IHRA Winternationals at Ipswich, Australia’s famous Willowbank Raceway as Top Fuel dragbike racers Chris Matheson and Jay Upton strive for Australia’s first five second motorcycle drag racing run and the prestigious Thunder 400 season championship.
Matheson and Upton enter this final race of the season only separated by a mere three points. With Matheson at 6.04 and Upton at 6.11 career bests, both men are capable to run a five at any moment.
We take you inside Matheson’s pit area to get a close look at his nitromethane motorcycle and his innovative new motor design. We also look back at Matheson’s devastating 2013, high speed crash that nearly ended his life. Matheson talks about what keeps him going and what he was able to salvage from this historic motorcycle he purchased from Larry “Spidermam” McBride and Jimmy “Hulk” Brantley.
We give you inside access to the pit areas of Upton and Matheson as they compete in this winner-take-all event. They entered only separated by three points. The first two days of teh Gulf Wetern Oil Winternationals experienced rain but Sunday was absolutely perfect.
Matheson has a first round showdown with the Pro Fuel Nitro Harley of Les Holden and Upton takes on the Elmer Trett built motor or Gavin Spann.
Enjoy and share this inside documentary on the exciting world of Top Fuel Motorcycles.

I remember that wreck . I couldn’t believe it .wow what a race to the end !!!
Great job covering the Australian top bike championship! Well done mate🍻🇦🇺
Going with the #1 plate. He's got that number for a reason. Watching from Richmond, CA USA Home of top fuel drag racer Chicago Joe... 👍
THAT RACE WAS AMAZING!!! Best any kind of race I've ever seen. Wow...
A good and educational video, i must admit that I am impressed by these "Rocket Pilots". Many of them are grandparents, really fast grandparents :)
Love it that these 'old timers' are still leading the charge! Top blokes too! Great vid, learned a lot about the race scene in my own country...thanks heaps for your contribution mate! (watching from SW Australia)

Watching from the Appalachian Mountains, North Carolina. I'm glad Chris won, he seems like a cool guy.
Jay Upton needs to ditch that dork, ugly body on his bike, it doesn't seem to add aerodynamics to his machine.
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 CycleDrag Rules!!!
great prog and the bloke that won it He is a credit to sport What a geezer
Lets go Jay, its time for you to show the world that your ideas and hard work and completely thinking outside the box ( where yours truly lives) its your time to be Number 1! Jay, when you come to NY again, your welcome to stay at my home. I have to thank you for not selling me a Sprintex at the time, as you know, I had to develop my own program. I thank you and God for that!
Think Chris will win watching from Chesterville Ontario Canada. We drag race snowmobiles up here put top class is a homemade chassis with a 1000 cc 2 stroke on gasoline nothing like those top fuel bikes got be brave to ride that monster
This Come back is a great motivation for the human being.
NEVER GIVE UP!!💯💯
What a great video . Matho you are a dead set legend. And thanks for signing the con rods for me... See you at the next winter's. Hopefully better weather.
Would have loved to hear what he was saying, I think you need to review your microphone tech or maybe video editing. Can you boost his volume and turn yours down? I was very disappointed to not be able to understand him. I really like it when you have different set ups all trying to get the fastest times compared to the boring situation of everyone running the same motor and same set up. For me most of the enjoyment is to look at all the design and fab to make these things run.
Wild finish Thank you for posting this video !!!
93rd. LOVE CYCLEDRAG.COM! CANT GET ENOUGH OF CYCLEDRAG VIDEOS! KEEP THEM COMING JACK!
Fantastic edition well done
Matheson is a fearless stud
Hi Jack I watch your channel on UA-cam in South Africa, here we only ever had one TF bike driven by Steve Rosst a dental technician, both Steve and Mike Bramley built the bike.
Watching this from IRELAND 🇨🇮🇨🇮🇨🇮
made me think just how big and far away that half second is !
Here are 2 great low 6 second fuel bikes ... trying for the elusive 5.99 or better
meanwhile there is a 5.50 bike on the other side of the earth !
what does it take to get 1/2 second quicker ? ... the blink of an eye almost
Please talk Chris into bringing his team and bike over here to race and develope for a full season , I would love to see him work with Stevie , Roland , Larry , Dave Vantine , and Mitch Brown . That would be huge seeing that voodoo program helping to improve topfuel development.
glad he is okay great video he has a bad ass machine
This is a five second bike for sure. Thanks for the feedback. Please subscribe and get a friend to do the same. I'll keep the racing coming!
Very entertaining...just love everything about it!!!!! Watching from the darling downs...stanthorpe,queensland,Australia...cycledrag is awesome..footage of the presentations, interviews,pit coverage..one word..Excellence! Cycledrag.com..number 1.
Loved the vid mate....Sydney Australia...Cheers.

Thanks so much for the high praise. I'm no JC but I love the drag bikes. Who is your favorite racer? Thanks for the feedback. Please subscribe and have a friend do the same!
Stopped at 42:20 to say I think Upton goes 5 because the other Gentleman likes to shut off at 1000. I think he has doubts about the sinfully awful shutdown area. Watching from 80 minutes south of the home of the Gatornationals. While you can't really change the down-hill grade you CAN resurface. Scott Kalitta would say "do it".
My money is on the bad ass blue bike. And I'm checking in from Honolulu, Hawaii.
Aloha
have you got a speedway track in willow banks
Love the video Jack thanks for bringing racing from down under.
Watching from Edgewater Maryland

@@cycledrag Not going to XDA but getting my H2 750 triple ready for Mancup at dragway 42 in 3 weeks
@@chandlerh2 Awesome. Love the two strokes!
I want to continue watching these two guys battle and see a 5 sec run
Hi Great video, you're doing a great job of promoting motorcycle drag racing. At 13:53 we can see a shot of the RHS of the engine, and the spark plugs. Can you tell us what the brass nozzles and the flex rubber tubes/pipes that go directly into the head chamber are for please? Cheers Doug
I will try to get an answer for you. I'll let Chris know. Thanks for the feedback. Please subscribe and get a friend to do the same. I'll keep the racing coming! A lot of the hoses are for the fuel system.
My guess would be oil supply lines for camshafts. The larger hoses at the end of the head are probably oil return lines.
@@geoffreyveale7715 dang good guess. Thanks so much for the feedback. Please introduce this channel to some of your friends who appreciate fast motorcycles and I'll keep the content coming! All motorcycle fans are welcome here. Thanks for subscribing.
They are fuel injection lines and nozzles which they run directly into the intake port aimed at the head of the intake valve. Most top fuel engines be they cars or motorcycles have (a) some nozzles before the supercharger which help cool the pressurised air coming out of the supercharger (therefore making the air more dense) and (b) 1 or more nozzles in each port which is what you are seeing here and these serve to be able to balance the amount of fuel that each cylinder receives.
@@phillipmcintosh6489 You do seem to be correct. Another video ua-cam.com/video/RXPlYh63SkE/v-deo.html has a better angle showing clearly 4 similar lines connected just after the blower on the intake runners and the other 4 lines close to the spark plugs.
Never give up mate👍
Needs less talk, more racing!
