Me too.
But it's a 1000 feet now.
That's 0 to 160 feet in 1 second.
That's funny, I thought the 1/4 was looking kindof short but just thought they were going that fast. Lord, how fast would they be going if they went the full 1/4 mile? I can see why they had to shorten up the track. Thanks for the heads up!
I didn't like it when they shortened the track, I grew up at the strips, was on a crew before I had my driver's license. But, they'd probably be hitting 370 by now. The first fuel rails had 1,300HP and pumped fuel at 15 gal/min now, they have 8,000HP and pump 105 gpm.
