    Remember when dragsters were trying to turn those times? Very impressive.

    Was he driving on his slicks in the rain? That's like skaing in ice . . . with roller skates. Been there, done that. Generally not a good idea.

    In my high school physics class the subject of drag racing came up. Our instructor informed us that some major physics gurus determined that top speed would top out at 180 mph and e/t would not be quicker than the low 8's. So much for the experts.

    Yep, I remember when they made that calculation. Said it was physically impossible to exceed 200 MPH in the quarter. Back to the drawing board.

    Roger Huntington, an engineer/writer that some of you oldies might recall, about 1957 had a long article in Hot Rod that said the ultimate speed and time was about to be done in the quarter mile. This was about the time that cars were just breaking into the 150mph bracket and the 9's if I recall correctly

    Wo, When I saw drove it and 6.93 I figured it was 1/8th mile!

    Absolutely amazing.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
