Roel Koedam had a wild ride during the "Competition Bike finals" (everything above Pro Stock bikes with more than 2 cylinders were racing in this one class) against Chris Hall.

He overpowered the Hockenheim Quartermile and spun his Top Fuel Bike.
Don't mind the wobbles.

Hope you enjoyed this footage and I kindly ask you to rate this clip and to leave a comment.

Thank you.

  • Actually, the hub broke out of the rear wheel, that's what caused the sliding. You can see Roel ends just infront of a cameraman. Roel's first reaction was: "Did you get it?"

  • You got this information from Roel himself? Actually I thought "either severe tireshake or something broke".

    And the cameraman was you? ;]

  • Huh, scary memories, the guy on the microphone that almost freaked out was me...8-)

    Roel was lucky that he had wide frame rails with nothing underneath,

    because he slid & spun on those rails,

    after the rear hub broke.

    ( First biker to get an 1/8mile time going BACKWARDS !!! )

    "Cool Roel" lived up to his name,

    his wife on startline was quite shook up.

    Sadly he never did the 5 on this bike before selling it to Australia,

    he still holds the Hockenheim track record though with a 6.1
