They only run 1,000ft in Top Fuel these days and he was over 300 when that happened.  :o

Tells how much I have watched NHRA recently lol. I gave up when that 4 abreast shit started showing up.
Of course, one of my favorite racer authored coffee table books is "I Saw Elvis at 1000 Feet" by John Force. That dude's post run interviews always made me giggle.

After Scott Kalitta's crash in 08, Top Fuel went to 1,000ft as a lot of the old tracks don't have enough run off. The 4 by is only at Charlotte and its awesome. 28,000 hp at once.  [evil]

Did Brown win since he crossed the finish line first? ;) Damn, great safety built into those rail jobs. Awesome, scary stuff.

I remember Garlitt's (Swamp Rat) wreck YEARS ago that made the move to rear motor rails. Glad Brown walked away! [thumbsup] If you have never been to a NHRA meet you are missing a show and them some. Put it on your bucket list.
I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.
