NitrOlympX 2016 - Top Fuel Bike Eliminations

[@pedrochevez2090]

Any racing vehicle in that classic blue and orange Gulf scheme just screams serious professionalism. Thus my all-time favorite racing vehicle? Ford GT40 MK2 Gulf.

[@robbyking8756]

It's stupid fun I used to race motorcycles when I was younger nothing in the world like flying down the quarter at 200 mph better than any drug you can do that's for sure

[@pwengineering9070]

Nice to see the Germans stepping up with a safe and modern drag strip. To many places around the world say they can handle the big guns at their strips but most are far from handling Top Fuel Dragsters or Funny cars which need well over another 1/4 mile to stop, 3/8's to a 1/2 mile just incase they don't get the chutes out in time or they lose the chutes because the lines broke during release. Stopping a TFD or a FC going over 335mph just after 1000 feet takes a lot of runoff road. That's why a few years back they shortened the nitro cars run s from 1350feet to 1000feet. All the other classes still run 1350feet.

[@hoplite46]

P&Wengineering agreed

[@alvilneff1542]

1320ft is a quarter and 660 is an eighth, just sayin. The thousand ft mark was set to reduce top end speeds which in turn is for safety, slowing down included.Do these hot rods run 1000 also? It takes some serious skillz and huge heart to hang on at them speeds and Gs.

[@Peter-V_00]

Top Fuel bikes run either 1/8 or 1/4, no 1000 ft.

[@peterherrington3300]

1350 feet is incorrect. It's 1320

[@lucasewert3841]

What is the triangular strut mounted too the back of the bikes?

[@RMAsAmateurFootage]

Preventing the bike to do backflips the moment the rider cranks the throttle open upon green. So called 'wheelie bars'

[@hoplite46]

the g forces must be insane

[@outrunno4563]

these guys are rumored to experience more than 3-4 g. a driver using a top fuel dragster experiences somewhere around 6.

[@bigtriggaz4402]

I don't understand how they can hang to the bike going over 300..... One dude hit like 360. Like the pressure from the wind at that speed is like driving through pudding.

[@lraknosdunk5724]

why does the big tire bikes take off in a manner that they are pulling to wall or centter of track ? is it because rear tire not straight in chassis ? or is there so much flex in frame and bearings in the rear tire that it twists in frame , ? i bet ceramic bearings would help and set rear tire slightly to the non pull side that would be rt side if chain drives the left I'm thinking looks like a bitch to get back pon track can't lean at all!

[@dracenut8915]

Since im late and no one answered you, my guess is the center of gravity such as if it tilts even slightly on launch its very hard to recorrect so its best to let off to completely correct it and you know also wont die

[@capt5847]

where's spidey?

[@RMAsAmateurFootage]

probably on the other side of the big pond^^

[@slowpoke96Z28]

it's so crazy. as a kid, I thought these bikes were the dumbest things ever...now I can't get enough lol.

[@filthyanimal874]

You should be ashamed of yourself.

[@robertesposito9871]

That blue Eurol bike is stupid fast

[@mickymccarthy3410]

Robert Esposito 😫

[@quincyjohnson5718]

Cannonball nuts is what these guys have

[@LoociferZ]

Naw....great...big....giant....brass that drag along the road leaving skid marks without even touching the balls.

[@ddavid122]

The balls on these guys. Seriously.

[@hoplite46]

6.05 at 317 kmh fuck

[@marniebaylouny4736]

5:19 - I guess the one on the blue drag bike red-lighted by the way the biker jumped the gun at the gate light, and even though the bike blasted through at a speed of 335 mph, it doesn't count because of the red-light and the racer was disqualified. The one on the white and black bike was ruled the winner by disqualification, even though the speed was much less than the disqualifier - 205 mph.

[@Gokuuuuu13]

This is in Germany So no mph it's kph

[@texanleons]

Chain Saw Massacre.

[@jmecillakennedy7102]

what's that track length?

[@RMAsAmateurFootage]

standard 1,320 feet / 402,33 meters

[@LoociferZ]

4:00 an elector scooter drives past the blue bike just before it's B/O. AHAHAHA damn that woulda been a RACE!

[@karileino5313]

the lady should be on a back seat...

[@Cwis901]

Kilometers or Miles per hour?

[@RMAsAmateurFootage]

Kph......would mph not be a little "too" fast?

[@scottpecora371]

It ewouldn't necessarily be too fast, they'll get there some day but the times don't match. TFD running 300mph+ Are in the four second

[@outrunno4563]

kph. mph is a little decieving.

[@Navaja09]

Are this faster on dirt?

[@Peter-V_00]

Not on a bet.

[@outrunno4563]

they cant drive on dirt lmfao

[@junchristianc.lamirez5392]

do this drag bike automatic?

[@Peter-V_00]

Two speed

[@outrunno4563]

they drive with a two speed gearbox. to show you a difference, a top fuel dragster drives with only one gear.

[@dracenut8915]

@@outrunno4563 they dont have a gear, just a clutch with a reverser

[@Jopshedricaopcaca]

372 it is km or miles ?

[@Henry-tw4mt]

km

[@sagarwedshimani1349]

Is this mph or kph

[@Gokuuuuu13]

Kph

[@Joop.23-2-63]

einigermaßen schade ebenfalls danke fur alle uploads............

[@hoplite46]

insane badass

[@filthyanimal874]

You sir appreciate this madness & so do fuckin I !!!

[@wearefourtysix]

สุดยอดทางพร้าว

[@LtJackboot]

Damn but I likes me a bike drag!

[@MistyAndBonnie]

1st race is pro bike

[@RMAsAmateurFootage]

Jesse Stenersen Nope! In Europe we only have Funny Bike and Top Fuel Bike for the big 4-cylinder Drag Bikes. Moreover the bike in the near lane is a nitrous Pro Mod Bike to be exact. If they're able to run consistently below 7secs they're allowed to compete in the European Top Fuel Bike Championship.

[@Henry-tw4mt]

ridiculous!

[@Soulleey]

lol sogar in deutsch

[@Bongo300000000000000]

Ist ja auch auf dem Dragstrip vom Hockenheimring aufgenommen
