Thai Motorbike Drag Races


Thailand's Insane Motorbike Races - 9 Second 1/4 Mile with 150cc
CB Media

This popped up on YouTube. It's great. A little too much narration, but it's still pretty cool. I remember when I was a kid 50 years ago top-fuel dragsters were making 7 second quarter miles, and that was with big monster machines. A 1969 Camaros and Mustangs with the big engines were making 13 second quarter miles and 100 MPH. 9 seconds is hauling *ss.

    I was there when Alf Hagon did the FIRST run under 10 seconds.
    Mid sixties probably. At Elvington or Santa Pod, I can't remember.
    A 1000cc blown JAP twin, running on methanol,in a spindly frame.
    Somewhere I have a photo. George Brown (SuperNero, blown Vincent on Methanol)
    was quite pissed off.
