We also discuss rising young motorcycle drag racing stars including Chase Van Sant, Gaige Herrera, Brayden Davis, Trevor Schnitz and others, talk about the future of Top Fuel Bike in the NHRA and a whole lot more. We ask McBride if he would ever bring back his motorcycle “Blue”, which ran the first five-second pass back in 1999. We will see some of Larry “Spiderman” McBride and Dave Vantine’s top moments from the NHRA and we even watch as McBride does an oil change on his race hauler.
