Top Fuel bikes

[MM]

I watched Korry Hogan come off of his bike at 246mph last year, literally right in front of me. If you look in the video, you can see a funny car on the return road. That was us.

Luckily Korry was not hurt, save for some bad road rash in a couple unfriendly places. Stuff like this is part of the reason you don't see a lot of TF bikes around. It takes a special mindset and a large set of "attachments" to get on one of these. That being said, the fans absolutely love these bikes, and I would love to see them come back to National Events on an exhibition basis.

I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like being there that day. When I got the news of Blaine's crash that hurt a lot. A few days later I received the news about Elmer on my way to school, it knocked the wind out of my sails. I still remember walking to school with tears streaming. I got to my science class and sat at the back of the room with my head down... I didn't even want to be there.

Elmer sure left us with a lot of great/awesome memories though. There is a book coming out soon, and I recommend everyone check it out, it will no doubt be an excellent read...

About 2-3 hours before Elmer's last run, I found his pit. pretty simple, just a Motorhome and his Trailer, pretty simple! I met Gina, told her I had never seen Elmer run till the night before, brought and shut off. My first impression of Elmer was he didn't look like a Bike racer! He looks more like an engineer or something!

Holy crap, when did they start shooting nitro flames out of the top of them? Last I saw a TF bike was 1998 (night time) and there were no flames...

And the video of them carrying the front wheel all the way to just before the lights, crazy!

Wish they would run these over PSB

Even the unblown V Twin nitro bikes are making big flame.

Sucks from the fans point of view, scoreboard blocked most of that!

Jay, is it me or has the wheelbase on those bikes grown about 12-15" over the past 15-20 years?
