Drag Bike Racing Gone WRONG 2022! Crashes & Explosions!

Check out some of the wildest motorcycle drag racing crashes and fails of the 2022 season as we see Top Fuel Harleys, Two Strokes, Vintage Nostalgia Nitro Bikes and more encounter problems. The good news with these drag bike crashes and motorcycle failures is everyone walked away and had on full safety gear. We catch up with some very tough female motorcycle drag racers who show they are not only as talented as guys, but also have just as much courage when it comes to motorcycle racing. We also see a little drag racing controversy when officials have to step in.

The mini bike walk of shame 😂😂😂🤣🤣

[@dansherwood9851]

I think the wheelie and dump was more shameful…

[@DeadRoman]

The front end didnt “wash out”. When the bike wheelie’d she held the bars almost all the way pointed left and it caused a tank slapper when the front wheel came down. Rider error.

[@farquadmantis8486]

Yes keep the wheel pointed in the direction of travel when it comes off the ground. Pointing it fully one way in a wheelie is the same mentality as the people that turn the steering wheel full lock when the front tires slip in their cars only to have the car go out of control when it catches

[@ernestmason5881]

Mi

[@dansherwood9851]

The tat upset her balance to one side…

[@cobblerama]

Was gonna say, needed to lock her arms straight, (direction of travel). I've riden a couple speed wobbles out that way. With dirt bikes in sand it's essential.

[@clipsedrag13]

I just watched it like 5 times. It looked like it washed out. Idk how when it's so sticky but it slipped on something.

[@Cooldaddymon]

Couldn't believe how fast that snowmobile went!

[@bunnyman6321]

😂😂😂 Same here

[@ludicrous7044]

These snowmobiles/Minibikes etc. may be good for the spectators but there an unstable handful on the track!

[@skismosis]

thats what 2 stroke engineering is all about, right now throttle response.

[@kentuckywindage222]

Smooth also.

[@skismosis]

LMAO,the bolt in the ear was Classic.

[@BobbyTucker]

Brought back some memories with that 750 Kawasaki H-2, I was just 21 years old when they brought that out, 74 y/o now, lol.

[@fireball1322]

Glad Bailey was OK. That was a nasty spill.

[@cmsracing]

The girl with the two stroke had the front wheel turned to the left and when it came down, nasty things happened!

[@BikingVikingHH]

It looks like the wheelie bars were so ”tight” that it kept the front tire touching the ground, fooling her into thinking it was doing something; by the time she realized it wasn’t and closed the throttle, she was at full left lock 😂

[@alphastarcar]

I’m so glad Bailey had on gear and is ok. It was scary to see her go down. Praise Yah for protecting her!

[@mikegamba580]

One of my favorite things in life is putting cycle drag on and wrenching on my bikes even though some people may call it a moped but my little puch moped does 58 and that's motorcycle speeds if you ask me . I've been having a terrible day but seeing this episode reminds me every one has something it could be one thing or another. Love you all ride safe

[@quingregg6643]

Over in the Philippines they drag race mopeds

[@alanrodriguez7341]

That was a fast get off. Fast and hard. Im glad she was ok!!!

[@kellywilson8440]

Glad that girl was ok that was a nasty get off , Looked like she bounced about 2 ft off the deck wow !

[@shortchange26]

Her skull bucket hit the track hard.

[@briangiven7399]

I thought I could hear her helmet crack from the impact all the way back behind the line! 😬🤕

[@peteridesktm6135]

Yeah that was a heavy head and body plant. She was steering left to counter the torque twist but ended up with that vicious washout.. Then poor mum was in shock and cried. I don't think mum will be keen to help fund future ventures in the sport. She is one tough cookie to walk away from that spill that young girl.

[@BikingVikingHH]

4:25 The bike was doing a wheelie, but the wheelie bars are adjusted so tight that the front tire was kept in slight contact with the track, giving her the *sensation* that she could steer w/ the handlebars… when she came to the conclusion it wasn’t working she lifted off the throttle which reconnected the front tire to the ground; unfortunately it was at full left lock 😅

[@mattgoodmangoodmanlawnmowi2454]

Duly noted. Got plans to go fast once more, but not with a full lock on a floating front end. Best to learn from the mistakes of others.

[@threesomemonkey8780]

Wow!! Excellent coverage, top notch riders and great video. Everyone was cool it was all good, will be checkin vids regularly 😀 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🤙🏽🍻🇦🇺 Two down

[@Xstreamaudio]

Soon to be back out there with my snowmobile powered cbr...almost finished the build

[@KevinHowell501]

That track has too much prep..they have too much sticky juice on it..

[@wsbill14224]

At the one minute mark I saw something I never saw before and I've been watching motorcycle drag racing since the 70s. How do you fall off the back???

[@aol11]

The 1st time I dragged was on a 99 busa I didn't realize the track bite was so sticky and almost tipped it over when my feet stuck to the ground moving up to the line. We all got to start somewhere, we all get better. Still pulled off a 10.4 on my 1st run so not so bad for a rookie.

[@RATADATUAVELHA]

14:23 for many years I didn't seen one like that...omg

[@skyedog24]

I'm glad they showed that shot of the girl giving the thumbs-up with a smile that was a horrible accident. Let this be a lesson learned for anybody not wearing a helmet on the street at any time or on a dirt bike in the dirt. Always proper racing leathers and certified helmet.

[@ericlane419]

This is a different breed!!!!

[@72hourbob61]

On the Suzuki that spit the rod, the clutch basket may have come apart sending chunks into the crank & rod. Seen it a few times.

[@honda4life812]

Bailey is AWESOME!

[@Porsche996driver]

A lot of these mistakes could have been avoided, they’re not aware of the track rubber and glue. That huge grip can break transmissions, that box is legit.

[@MartyMcFlyV]

Looked like the young girl (Bailey) had the bars turned as the bike was on the wheelie bars and when the front wheel touched down crooked, it fell over. Glad she walked away.

[@toddcott9510]

I'm never allow on the track, cos I keep leaking fluid. Always a problem these days.

[@cycledrag]

Is that so, lol? Thanks a lot for watching. What was the most surprising clip in this video for you and why?

Love this channel! Lots of action!

[@HeAdChEeSe1983]

Wrecks can happen to anyone at any time. The worst ones it seems are when we aren't paying attention.

[@USViper]

The front end DID NOT wash out! The front wheel was off the ground and she had the bars turned when the wheel came down. That's called amateur rider that has no business on a race track. But since she's a female, she's strong and vicious.

[@user-bm5bm8ff5t]

Don't quit Bailey, get back on quick do a couple practice runs. 2 strokes can snap and get away from you.

[@ludicrous7044]

I never used a wheelie bar on a motorcycle because the way it’s supposed to stop a wheelie is crazy!! When it touches pavement it lifts the tire off the track breaking traction!🤦🏻‍♂️ When the tire comes back down there’s TOO much traction causing another wheelie!!🙄 if you don’t crash you’ve already lost!! I had a seat that would allow me to move forward and back to adjust the center of gravity for max traction! Hardly ever wheelied and when I did instead of backing off the throttle I moved F/B with very little throttle movement!! Old school but effective!! This also works on street/dirt bikes.

[@jesuschrist7169]

Never used wheelie bars but pretends to be a expert on them. Yeah cheaks out 😂

[@chrismoody1342]

Thank God Bailey is ok. That was one hard throw to the pavement. I bet she’ll feel it later that night and the rest of the week.

[@brandonmacon3317]

She's young no she won't.

[@The1200r]

I wanted to see them put the mini bike up against the Harley to see which one wins.

[@kirkolson2518]

Looks like Bailey wheelied and set the front wheel down at an angle.

[@Cody_4]

Yeah I seen that also, time for a stabilizer.

[@BikingVikingHH]

lol a steering stabilizer is not going to fix *landing a wheelie while at full lock* 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@Cody_4]

@@BikingVikingHH it would’ve kept the wheel locked straight instead of turning when the front wheel came off the ground, so how do you figure it wouldn’t have helped? Every drag bike I’ve been around had stabilizers on them for that purpose.

Jack, I was watching your interview with Chris Moore over his historic 5 sec. pass. It might be quite interesting if you research the history of grudge racing and why it is what it is....that would explain some of the rules and decision making of the past and why some might be resistant to change.

Imagine doing 100 miles hour on bikes known for extremely poor craftmanship and desighn! Things blowing up left and right!

[@nameismetatoo4591]

I wonder, is there special rider gear for drag bike races on propped tracks? Seems a coating of something like teflon might make riders more likely to slide to a halt rather than tumbling around like a ragdoll. Granted, by the time they get to extreme speeds they're past the stickiest part of the strip, but even a spill at 60 mph could be real bad on prepped track.

[@mifo2000]

Bailz is going to be sore AF tomorrow hahaha Obviously she lost traction and got sideways.. Easy to do on a 2 banger and small rubber

[@foreverendeavors6210]

Prep the left lane mannn, how many bikes gotta slip n fall in the left lane before they prep it?

grew up in Pomona, had a friend back in the late 80s, takes his drag bike to the desert to run it, it was a bit windy that day and he road the bike anyways. the wind pushed him off the road at over 100, hit a 3 foot dirt embankment and took off in the air. it was not pretty. damn ner killed him, and he never raced again. not going to say his name, diehard California race fans will know who im talking about. 1989 or 90.
