Enjoy this in-depth behind the scenes Top Fuel Nitro Harley Davidson Drag Bike feature from the biggest race of the year, the NHRA US Nationals from Indianapolis, Ind. From the championship battle between Doug Vancil and Tii Tharpe, to Beau Layne recovering from his Nitro Harley crash, to several Top Fuel Harley start ups and pit rebuilds we have your VIP, all access pit pass to meet every fearless rider and learn a ton about the Top Fuel Harley engines and so much more.
Thirteen top notch Top Fuel Harley Davidson Drag Bike racers showed up to battle at this event including Randal Andras, Bob Malloy, Tii Tharpe, Doug Vancil, Kevin Boyer, Andy Beauchemin, Rickey House, Jake Stordeur, Tyler Wilson, Jay Turner, Mike Scott, Mitch Brown and Dennis Fisher.
We begin by giving you a look around the biggest drag race in the world, then we talk to Malloy and Fisher about the new sponsorships they were able to sign with Nitro Fish and Cycle Gear. We ask these talented racers how they were able to get the all important funding.
We take you all the way around the pits and the lanes and focus heavily on Tharpe and Vancil’s championship tilt.

Fuel burning and many are supercharged, as they should all be. How the would not rate coverage by any network is beyond belief. Sadly the limited fields reflect the economic realities of Top Fuel motorcycle racing. Look at the stands in a lot of video's. For whatever reason the mass appeal of the bikes is not there at the level of the fuel cars. Thus affecting the size of the fields.

Thanks for this vid. I used to go to A lot of AHDRA races and this brings back memories. I met you in Virginia one of the last times AHDRA ran there, It was when Tak made the 1st 6.20 pass but couldn't back it up. The burnout smell of nitro and rubber is awesome. This so much better than Fox NHRA coverage of TFH. Keep up the qualifying coverage. Somebody has to fill the gap that FS1 doesn't.

Best quotes: "It's gonna go or blow!" "Nitro is not your friend" 😂😂 Yes, really enjoyed this long format...your obvious rapport with the pilots and tech teams (and the respect they show you) gives the viewer an intimate look into this world of passionate pros. I like your camerawork and editing...great balance between closeups of the machines and interviewing the teams (good questions prising candid and informative answers, and no 'over the top' BS like some other commentators). Great to see the camaraderie between the teams, and tech insights that shorter vids simply can't provide. Unfortunately I can't actually smell the nitro from over here in Australia...but I can sure see it and hear it! Haven't seen your channel before (subbed now), but could I suggest you ask some of these guys if you can get GoPros on their bikes for your vids? Give them a copy for their promos, and give us viewers an 'in the seat' look? All the best, greetings from Oz... (a Harley lover and builder)
