Well, that is certainly interesting.
What are your plans / ET Goals with it? I assume it is just made to have something "different"?
Is it a decent motor?
Don’t know the new rules for V8 drag bike racing for the new year yet but the engine is restricted to 396 cubic inches and the speed was 205 MPH 1/4 mile but the new distance of 1000 ft. will change things.
Motor Chevy 350 stroked to 396
Heads are Dominion 32 Valve
Hilborn Fuel Injectors
Hilborn Fuel Pump
Pistons 13:1
HP 1200 to 1300 on alcohol
15in rim 16 in wide Goodyear Drag tire.
Where do you run them? CMDRA? What ET do they run?
Do you just dump the front bank exhaust out to the sides?
ET no restricted only MPH
working on the front will finish later this week all four coming out right side so far.

that is freakin bad ### .
Outstanding ... I've dreamed about a V-8 drag bike ... even made a miniature. That is just bad beyond words!
Nice looking exhaust. Hope you use ear plugs when that thing runs.Quote:

Nitrous, too. That must be a wild ride.
That's just crazy wicked. I saw the title of the post and figured it would be just a scale model .... Man, that is a BEAST! :D
What is the saying? Because I can?Quote:

Holy crap, is all I can say. What do you call the operator of that beast? "Rider"? "Pilot"?
Be safe! And post videos when you can!
I would love to make passes on something like that ... I think I would be more concerned with stopping than anything else ... Our top fuel and pro fuel Harley riders in AHDRA started using chutes a couple years ago since a few have gone off the end of the track. They're hitting 230 mph in the low sixes (still 1/4 mile unlike NHRA that has cut 320 feet for nitro).
Stopping distances on some tracks is too short for high speed stuff. Some tracks are more than adequate for stopping pretty much anything. I usually cut gas just a bit after the 1000' on shorter shutdown tracks when testing mine.Quote:

There isn’t a sand pit the track kinda just butts up to the farmer’s field and if you can’t shut down there’s no retaining system and you kinda do some plowing. AHDRA runs nitro bikes but NHRA doesn’t run nitro cars there … alcohol yes but not nitro and I think it's partly for that reason.Quote:
