I know that this is 6 years old, but thank you. It truly gave me inspiration to get out into the shop and work on one of my drag bikes. GOD BLESS

[@MrJake-yx8ll]

My mom kept her Briggs & Stratton in better tune than these machines. Or was this a test and tune meet? Don't matter either way God bless these guys for getting out there with vintage machines and keeping the old school style of racing alive.

[@completelyboringstuff204]

Great bikes, but also a huge amount of misfiring and missed shifts... love the huge wheelie save at 3:40!

[@petenikolic5244]

Lots of engines in need of a good tune up there so many misfiring under load .

[@christopherhughes8402]

That knuckle at 7;45 was amazing but damn the rest of the pack was disappointing. I'm not trying to bust anyone's balls as i wasn't there but the reaction times and tuning were just awful. Hell, maybe the night before was one hella barn burner and made up for any lack of times the next day. Fuck it! That's what I'm going with lol..

[@MacOne53]

Is there a bike tuner in the crowd? Please report to the pits, we have work for you.

[@jameshuffman835]

I liked that first up is Jay and his bike "Daisy"!

[@1999evo1]

Very cool

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Love this stuff ... no interest in Super Bikes - this is Racing old style ... inclusive and anyone can do it - just the way it should be.

[@AverageFloridaDad]

Super bikes is a class of motorcycles determined by power. Check out wheels through time on KZbin, they talk about America’s first “super bike”. Looked like any other vintage Harley. If you mean “road Race bikes” or “track bikes” then that’s a different thing.

[@TheGreenmeeny]

Great stuff, more bikes please.

[@DragStripRiot]

Thank you! We plan on capturing more down the road.

[@MRNOBODY023]

badass video

[@DragStripRiot]

Thank you!

[@ZZz3rDeYezZZ]

That wheelie @3:36

[@DragStripRiot]

I thought he was coming off the bike.

[@LtJackboot]

@ 6:36 What is that column of smoke rising in the background?

[@dano7480]

Lmfao at this, but wtf I'm gettin drunk watching these guys trying to race motorcycles 🤣. Imagine having to take a drink every pop or misfir🥳😵

[@ZZz3rDeYezZZ]

I was there filming too.

[@DragStripRiot]

It's a fun event!

[@stevenrackow5863]

Those Harleys sorry to say are pretty sad. Though at that period long ago were considered fast.

[@Mytriumph650pre-unit]

Achtune baby

[@bigiron8831]

BEWARE THE NITRO BUMS ☠

[@chrismoody1342]

I don’t know what insanity makes people think a Harley makes for good drag bike. The engines stumbling at 4500 rpm. It takes three tries to shift gears. Come on now. I could get down the track better with a racing lawn mower.

[@billbanghart8013]

Watching Harleys old or new drag race is like watching paint dry but slower.

[@ARCHIE8159]

Some very poorly tuned bikes there.

[@DragStripRiot]

I think these guys only race their vintage bikes once or twice a year.

[@nebrrex6910]

That would give them plenty of time to fix their 'motorcycles'.

[@paulseabrook8179]

A damn shame watching these idiots beat on these old Harleys. Especially the guy with the knuckle...wore out the motor doing a burn out.

[@nzsaltflatsracer8054]

This is old stuff doing what it was supposed to do, get the shit beat out of it. Not everybody wants a wall hanger! Go take a look at the Goodwood festival of speed, that'll probably bother you even more.

[@sekoivu]

Don't worry... That guy who rode the Knuck is Lee Wicklström who has built these machines for ages (Lee's Speed Shop). He could rebuild it whenever, and sure knows how to ride such thing. Knuckle Dragger is designed to do that sort of riding & it's a piece of marvel to look at too!

[@MrCarnutbill67]

Sometimes “the way they did it back in the day” ain’t that great. When your wheelie bar’d drag bike runs the same et that a Camry runs.....

[@MrBigTexFyre]

MrCarnutbill67 which one of the riders were you? Apparently you had a pretty fast time.
