It was in Popular Mechanics. Feb, 2011 issue. This was a record run, Kallita, and "Gruby", on the now 1000 foot run. No more "1/4", after Scott was killed.

This is SO hard to fathom, ..EVEN SITTING THE START line, any NHRA Nats me. And been many ...(when yer bones stop rattling, the race is over!..MISSED IT!

Ya gotta love "Nitro motors", fastest land "missiles" made!

Heres some "stats" the run

0.50 seconds in, 10.27 FEET, out the light? Try 73.89 MPH

1 second in, and now 51.94 feet race track behind the "Launch" doing 113.82 MPH!

1.50 seconds in, 125 feet, doing 162.45 MPH

2 seconds? 231 feet, at 213 MPH!

2.50 seconds in, 397 feet track now, 248 MPH!

3 seconds in, 566 feet track, at now 271 MPH.


3.5 seconds inn? 783 feet, at 293 MPH!

At a 1000 feet, 3.8 SECONDS!? 321.58 MPH.

Damn, thats ..hell, I dunno...my best time drag racing, my old Triumph 650 bike, back Illinois, Oswego Dragstrip, WAY back in the 60's, best was a 14.99, at 99.9 mph!
