Re: Water on Track

What was going on here, this was a very dangerous condition for the bikes to be run in.

Changed it so we will see what that does.

Hard to believe they would let them run like that. Lucky no one was hurt.

As shocking as this story is, just chalk it up to another of the many ways nhra turns a blind eye to saftey.

"Numerous motorcycle racers have expressed their concerns over this situation, pointing out that at 185 mph they’re the fastest racers in NHRA Drag Racing without parachutes and only a single, minimal front tire contact patch on the track."


Correct me if i'm wrong,but don't the Top Fuel bikes run NHRA sanctioned events? Yeah,just pickin at hairs here,no one take it seriously.
I'm just sayin. Kinda scary havin a drag bike event with the fuel bikes and this happening.

The AMA Dragbike Assc run their event at the track in October I believe. Might be earlier. A scary thought if conditions were not to change.... Considering the bikes go from 220- to over 240mph
