Enjoy this inside look at the world’s quickest and fastest motorcycle drag racer Larry “Spiderman” McBride, how he overcame Top Fuel Motorcycle explosions, crashes, fires and fails and how and his world record holding, nitro burning drag bike known as Star came to be. In this video we tell Larry McBride’s story, go inside the pits, hear the amazing Top Fuel drag bike start up, see both world record passes (et and speed) and talk about McBride’s comeback after health problems and how you could see his Top Fuel Motorcycle soon return to the NHRA.

I've been doing the motorcycle drag races since the early 70s. Absolutely love this sport. Spider-Man is a legend.
Love to ride one some day
Ghost Rider there
I've gone to the US Nationals every year since the seventies, I like the top fuel Harleys but truly look forward to the metric fuelers.You are the man Larry! Love CycleDrag!
Can you do a story on the great Elmer Trett?
Awesome bike and rider…
Can only imagine what and how Steve feels every time.
Larry is really Super Man in Spider-Man garb. Love him and his brother.
I recognized Connie Kallitta and John Force
Nice video. I never know the history of the Spiderman and never have seen him live, but I love to watch him on Cycledrag. Maybe someday he make a appearance at Orlando Speed World. Thanks for all you do.
Yes would love to see Spider-Man at a NHRA event
OOH WOOOOOOOW I LOVE CYCLEDRAG
Thanks to you Jack, without you mate. I wouldn't be Able to watch the fastest bad asse bikes on the planet.. Larry stay safe, keep on Rollin'..
Would love to see him run,but I'm on the wrong side of the pond.
I will definitely buy tickets to see the Legend run at NHRA!! What a bonus!
So amazing, what a pair those guys
If the NHRA does not allow the top fuel motorcycle class back in they will be denying the sport the opportunity to see the best top fuel motorcycle racer to show his talent and perform on the big stage.
Anyone this fast…..HELL YES….I want to see him run. I remember watching him when I was a kid. My grandma was a huge racing fan. She passed the bug on to me. I have now passed it to my son. I'd love for him to be able to see Larry in action in real time.
YES NHRA Why haven't they been able to run at NHRA Events?????
Larry McBride is a definite BAMF. He has this stuff down to a science.
The legend rides on thanks for posting your excellent videos Jack all the best from the UK many thanks Les.

Only Larry can ride his bike …the original spiderman with some balls of steel for super powers .
Baddest man on two wheels ..Legend .
I would love to ride one of those precision machines. When I was younger I wanted to build and ride the first 6 second 200 mph motorcycle.
I got to meet Spider-Man at Ennis Tx and had a few cold ones, the late Fuzzy Carter introduced me to him. Great times!
wish larry would come to maple grove this year
Larry get well and remember Big Daddy's speed secret and you will get into the 5.20 times or 5.10 . Good luck. Jeff
I know Big Daddy and T.V Toomy IVO and the other top fuel racer Eddie Hill , personally. And I still have the secrets and being in the military helps and being aware.
