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 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!
BONSAI DRAG.!!!
Mini bike scene is crazy in LA. It's a matter of time before it takes off all over the country.
You can go from budget all the way to running low 7s and 6s if you want. Something really cool about being able to take a platform and build it to an extreme level without having to sink tens of thousands of dollars in. Allows the creative of us to show our engine and chassis building skills without draining the bank.
I think an industrial engine based class would be awesome, I'd build one.
Create a betting thing, where the spectaters can gamble, and a few % go to prizes for the slower/beginner classes. "Anything" is fun, when you can gamble on it – even chicken sh*ts… 😀
I am all for it. Inexpensive way to have fun, compete, and to use fabrication skills.
They're all going to be shocked when I show up with my electric mini bike!
….he just picked it up and walked back to the start after he looped it out xDDD
The Japanese run insane drag scooters over 100 metres and they are really quick.
Building one !
At the 8:40 mark, little narcissist in training thanks to her psycho mother. Yeah, she's gonna grow up to be a wonderful woman…NOT!!!
man this was a good video. well put together bud. first time ever seeing the mini bike drag scene. and you make a great point, its going to impact spectators. it can get redundant. CycleDrag, i always appreciate your content
Bunch of stoners on mini bikes I'd fit right in. And hell I already got a mini bike.
Big upgrades from the ole Rups. 🙂 Great to see all the fabrication- I look forward to more!
Not my personal way to roll in the quarter, but maximum props for the guy who chose this route and it’s working for him. All you need and nothing you don’t.
Modified many different ways. But he’s not saying what. Obscurity is the racer’s edge.
Making it go fast without spending a fortune. That’s what it’s all about for many of us.
I’m thinking a Triumph triple putting out 150hp or so and is street legal.
I think keeping the nose down will be the real problem for the hard chargers in the mini bike classes.
I’m already wondering if I want to try to build one. Maybe with a hot crate motor.
But I hate having to sort out all the classes and regs but don’t want to run open class. No blower, no nitro etc.
Are people running grudge drags on quads? Any trike classes?
And tell us when it’s an eighth. You can figure it out from time and trap speed but it’s a pain in the rear.

Hooning for life.
Much love and respect for your channel. Talking to riders, owners, mechanics etc. a nice extra.
All I wanted to do was let some buddies run exhibition passes at Darlington a couple years ago and then Paul wanted more. Minibikes from racing to restored to custom shows are a national thing. You can build and store them in an apartment. Race in the alley. I agree that too many of them could be an issue. They are part of an overall show of many classes. So for an AHWS race, eight in three classes is enough to put on a show. But Farmington would be a great place for a big minibike drag race. Who thinks a Minibike Weekend at The Farm is a good idea???
In the new economy, this may be the way you can afford to get you drag on?
300ft in the parking lot. Any chance 50cc scooter racing? K4class?
its more fun making a slow thing fast. Sure a big bike can do 100mph, but imagine the feeling making a mini-bike do 100mph….
We race minibikes on dirt in Texas. NTX Minibikes.
once the mini-bikes get uptown speeds to challenge the Harleys….thats going to be a draw for sure
Great awesome coverage!
I think this is great, I am 58 yrs. old and had a mini bike as a child, it was red, don't recall the brand but i do remember it was powered by a, 3 or 3.5 hp Techumse engine.
I went to a AHDRA event in Colorado WAY back in 2001. They had a Junior Dragbike class with many entries!
My mini bike build is close to complete. 670cc predator , Jr dragster rear wheel , 1/2 scale top fuel type chassis .
There's a 2speed transmission that is the next big step for the sport. The limited top speed is the biggest downside for growth, which leads to the 2spd .
Ha lol ,I see you Travis. DETROIT
Mini bikes are badass
And thank goodness, there’s no battery powered crap.
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.
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
I love that this is getting pretty popular,like they say it's cheap to get 3 times the power,also a great way to teach a son of nephew the basic on combustible engines how they work which will help them later on in life ,cars – trucks ,Lawn n garden when they get there first home,IAM 58 and just built a motor for a mini bike just to have fun with older son n my grand children n it gets them outside instead of being inside on a game or phone
I love it teach you about a magazine good video thanks for sharing drag on
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!!
I've been riding and racing mini bikes since 2001
8:40 IM A BOY HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHHAH POOR KID
This video made me go brush my teeth!
Might work well at a 4 wide track. 2 Mini bikes and 2 drag bikes launching off the same 2 trees at the same time…
Mini bikes and generator Stout engine modifications are what got me into motorcycles and two wheeled devices. I originally got into all this from drag racing mini bikes in the 8th mile. It's great to see how far things have come
