Video: 'Spider-Man' McBride, 64, Makes Record-Setting 268.38 mph Run at Virginia NHRA Nationals
There's no slowing down Spider-Man.
Larry “Spider-Man” McBride, 63, recorded the fastest motorcycle run in drag racing history Saturday during the Virginia NHRA Nationals on his home track with a 5.618-second pass at 268.38 mph aboard his Trim-Tex/Pingel Top Fuel Motorcycle.
The Poquoson, Va., resident whose office is at Newport News, Va., made the historic exhibition run during the Virginia Nationals just three months after returning from a health-related hiatus. McBride underwent a knee replacement and appendectomy and other energy-sapping health issues.
