Mini bike drag racing is going to a whole new level as we take you to the All Harley World Shootout at Farmington Dragway to watch a methanol mini bike race a full-sized Harley Davidson Road Glide. We also see a mini bike crash and a mini bike wheelie fail and take you inside the pits to get a close look at all the mini bike builds, mini bike mods and we will explore why mini bike racing is growing so quickly, especially at the bigger motorcycle drag races.

    I am 100% for it. Anything to get kids and young adults out racing works for me and I'm 74 years old. Been racing since I was 18.
  • I like the minis. It is a wide open category of drag racing with an ultra low buy-in that anyone can learn and take to as high a level as they desire.

    This video made me go brush my teeth!
  • It's crazy really. I was huge into mini bikes back in the early 2000's with Yahoo! Groups and BBS. Mini bike people were laughed at back then. My first "race/toy vehicle" was a Tote Goat back then. I've gotten back into them the last couple years, and I'm glad they are getting more and more main stream recognition and respect the past couple years.

    That’s impressive! My FTRs fastest pass in the 1/8th is 7.0 and 10.98 in the 1/4! Gotta start building a mini bike now!!
  • @TedTucholski
    I see a lot of slow bikes there. Although I must say the minibike at the end of the video doing a 6.79 is quite impressive.
  • @lookronjon
    Tim looked so stoned. Of course he’s on a mini bike.
  • I love all entry level motorcycle drag racing! That’s why I love the dirt drags! At the dirt drags you have every level of the spectrum of drag racers! All the way through and up to Top Fuel!

    I'm a mini bike engine builder in my main reason for getting into this hobby is the affordability and there an all-around blast to ride on even off a racetrack you don't need a trailer to haul them mine fits in the back of my minivan
  • I’m from the island of Maui. Being an island 2000 miles out in the pacific to get anything here cost big bucks. We have a drag strip and a community of serious drag racers with some fast cars. They’re super loud and spectators can sit at the start line about 50 get away, it smells and sounds like serious power. Only thing is there’s only about 20 fast cars. Then there’s the other 200 racers that show up in their daily drivers. As a spectator, it’s absolutely necassary to bring a bunch of beer or something to make it fun. For the racers it’s a blast, I’ve been in the pits . My brother races an old pimped out VW bug. Its a lot of work and slot of fun at the end of the day, but if your not pulling at least a 9 second quarter mile, nobody is gonna get pumped up to watch. It’s just the facts of life. That doesn’t mean the slower cars shouldn’t bevsblr to run it just means as a promoter , someone interested in getting g ppl in the gates, it’s something g that needs to be addressed. I have no solutions , I just know it’s like watching paint dry after about two drags. I was thinking of making a mini bike to drag matter fact. Something that nobody said, there’s a lot of. Reactivity involved in making the motor from your lawn mower pull 200 lbs down a drag strip in 8 seconds. Look at the crazy things people are coming up with. That’s the appeal. But you’re right there’s gonna be 600 mini bikes show up in a couple years as the trend catches more attention, like maui drags you’ll have a few fast pumped out minis run tgenn300 stock mini bikes straight off thr show room floor of the tractor supply store. It’s great for family friendly fun camping g out party timed but there’s nobody in the right mind gonna pay $20 bucks to sit and watch that. You can’t even pay someone to sit through a day of that. Anyways
  • I loved mini bike racing. The Hally Davison overlooked the mini bike and he got his disgrace. I love that. Never overlook your your engagement.
  • @swede910
    Jack, I'm just absolutely loving this video..... and what a super nostalgic trend we're seeing her! - Hey, how about that guy on Sporty loosing his horsy!?😂😂😂
  • I am all for it. Inexpensive way to have fun, compete, and to use fabrication skills.
  • My first mini bike was a little Indian 3 hp, put many of hour’s on that bike and loved it and now I’m 68 years old now and its darn cool to see these guys having fun again 🇺🇸👍👍👍👍
  • Mini vs bagger was cool man, but you nailed it, I don't believe they'll (mini bikes)be a money maker for the tracks, they'll need their own track or own time at the track, and have their fans come out to watch and help the sport grow
  • Sooo glad these are becoming popular again!!! I have many built mini bikes even a drag in the 70’s! Always loved them!!!
  • @99bx99
    That's the most missing teeth I've seen in 18 minutes in my life! 6.79? I'm impressed. Best I ever did with my Honda CBR 600 was 7.85.
