This is just another weekend at the office for Tii Tharpe on his Top Fuel Harley.
On this episode of the “Autoweek Podcast,” host Rory Carroll talks with Jimmy Pelizzari, Mike Pryson and Wesley Wren about the recent news in motorsport. Kicking off the show, Autoweek NHRA reporter Susan Wade calls in to talk about John Force’s 150th career event win. The gang puts his victories in context and explains why it’s unlikely someone will ever topple Force’s win count.
Afterward, Mike and Wesley talk to NHRA Top Fuel Harley pilot Tii Tharpe about the amazing world of nitromethane-burning Harley-Davidsons. Tharpe tells us what it’s like to make a pass on one of these nitro bikes, what kind of protection one has to wear to stay safe and how he started his journey down the asphalt aisle.
Wrapping the show, the guys talk about F1 at Hungary and the IMSA race at Road America. Jimmy learns that he’s bad at Twitter, Lewis Hamilton won again and Mazda is on a hot streak.
You can hear all of that, and more, below, on Spotify or anywhere podcasts are played.
