Happened today at Route 66 near Chicago.
There were a number of people not in control of their vehicles yesterday. I don't know who in the booth said it, but when he referred to this race as the "Valentine's Day Massacre" of the NHRA, he was correct!She didn't look like she had control of the bike on any of her runs.
That's not nasty, I can show you nasty....
There was a local guy that went on to race fuel Harleys nationally. He was at the local track and he was a friend of a friend and we were talking to him. This was late 70's. He'd just gotten back on the bike after a nasty crash right before the traps. (Can't remember where, possibly Indy) Screwed up an ankle really bad and he (not the bike) slid through the traps at about 100MPH. He said "Didn't hurt the bike much".
i think he's retired from it now, but I found a video.
Those Top Fuel Harley guys are INSANE!!!
My idea of "top fuel" is when I fill up my Harley with premium.Those Top Fuel Harley guys are INSANE!!!
