Got home not to long ago from a day at the drags, And want to say congrats to an old friend for setting a new national record, What a grate run it was, out in the cold air, As he said it shook for some time, Lets see if he can do it this year like he did last year.

Time down the track was 3.770 at 324.98

3.770! Was he driving a Top Fuel?

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-26-2011, 10:46 PM

Yes he was, His name is Larry Dixon Jr.

skipj3 · 02-26-2011, 10:47 PM

HAHA! thats funny, I was just looking up what he qualified with today.

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-26-2011, 10:53 PM

I was there the fist pass he made in 95, to get his Top Fuel license.

skipj3 · 02-26-2011, 10:56 PM

and just so you are aware they don't race to 1320' anymore, they race to 1000'

You should come to my side of the world and watch them 4 WIDE in Charlotte!! It is something else!!!

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-26-2011, 10:59 PM

I know that, but its bad, After all the years of 1/4 Mi that they did that.

skipj3 · 02-26-2011, 11:02 PM

I guess their reasoning was nothing good happens in the last 320'. I didn't like the change either.

Cars too fast, (majority of) tracks too small

2SSRS@Gen5diy · 02-27-2011, 08:52 AM

Ran out of room, Make the track longer. (I know its hard to do so)

skipj3 · 02-27-2011, 11:22 AM

Now I remember hearing something about that.

2010 SSRS · 02-27-2011, 11:29 AM
