VIDEO - One for the drag racers - VW Drag Bike of Stan Pobjoy
bat69 - March 4th, 2010 at 07:27 PM

This is a very old video, but none the less a great bit of footage on old 8mm of Stan Pobjoy on his VW supercharged drag bike going down the 1/4. Footage is from 1970 to 1978 and unfortunately there is no sound of the bike, only a sound track. But you get the idea.

Enjoy.

Don't you just love the tyre smoke for most of the run?

Hi

Great vidoes.

I never saw Stan run but I remember all the fast cars used to smoke the tyres for most of the track, that's why VWs had such an advantage until tyre technology caught up.
