I saw this from the other side of the track, and thought it was incredible, but to see it in pin sharp slow-mo like this...

Breathtaking...

Blimey!

Yep, I was watching the run and couldn't believe he didn't back off. Incredible stuff.

[Burndown]

looks like the bike decided to back off itself around the 1000ft mark

[crikey]

158mph at half track and he sticks with it. They're all bloody mad

I do believe that the bike guys are wired up wrong

They must have massive kahunas!

bonkers !!

Had a good chat & a long look at Eric Tebouls bike & jesus the thought of being strapped to something that doesnt turn off until you run out of fuel is scary to say the least !

I dont know the guys who did the vid, but I am really looking forward to seeing anything else they took at the weekend. Lazlo's PSB run in qualifying and any of Peter Svensson's work would be great to see in such stunning detail.

Amazing footage. The first reply on the you tube page is from blackett (sp) so id assume they took the vid.
Any fuel riders on here? I understood its better to keep on the power to stay in shape (ish lol) rather than lift and get a high speed change of direction. Be good to here from a rider of fuel or funny bikes to get their take on it

The rider is Jan Sturla Hegre from Norway. Age 23. A calm and hard racing boy who ended as number 7 in the super twin top fuel class this year.

Hello Pal, and welcome to this forum !

Whopee, although we do still do not have a fuel bike rider here,
we have a ST/TF team manager on board.

Greetings from the Hockenheim speaker,hope to see the UEM back there in the future.
It will be interesting to see Christian Jäger on a Top Fuel Harley and how quick he can
adapt his riding style from Funny Bike to the ex-Günter Sohn machine.
