Does anyone here like motorcycle drag racing? I attended an AHDRA event at Bristol Dragway this weekend, which is within walking distance of my house. Over Saturday and Sunday, I spent seventeen hours at the strip! I even came away with a new appreciation for Harleys, imagine that!
The Nitro bikes are the main attraction. Six-second passes of up to 225mph, and with an awesome sound. Top fuel motorcycle is now my favorite drag racing class. I enjoyed these bikes more than any other drag class, having previously witnessed top fuel dragsters, funny cars, and pro mods.
Hopefully the AMA Dragbike series will come back to Bristol; I would love to see the slightly faster classes (multi-cylinder TF bikes have reached 250!).
Here are some pictures I took, using a little digital camera.
