Is drag racing dying? In this video we take you to the NHRA Nationals and the Top Fuel Motorcycle show at Heartland Motorsports Park in Topeka, Kansas, a venue that says in will likely be closing soon, adding to a long list of drag strips that have recently shut down including Atco Dragway, Palm Beach International Dragway, Bandimere Speedway, Fontana Dragstrip, Atlanta Dragway, Houston Raceway Park, Kansas International Dragway and many others.
We discuss the health of drag racing and the NHRA, get Top Fuel Dragster racer Steve Torrence’s thoughts on the track closing, watch four Top Fuel Bikes drag race, including world record holder Larry “Spiderman” McBride, Dave Vantine, Sam Wills and Mitch Brown, watch a little Top Fuel Motorcycle gone wrong when a tow strap breaks, talk a little about the Budweiser boycott and how it relates to motorcycles in light of the Bud Light Dylan Mulvaney controversy, watch some 260 plus mph plus Top Fuel Bike runs and see a new Top Fuel Motorcycle track speed record. Enjoy this action, sadly, likely for the final time from Heartland Motorsports Park.
