When Magnus Frost rolled into Lucas Oil Raceway, I can only imagine the thoughts he and his co-pilot Dennis were sharing. A couple of Stockholm street racers preparing to lay down numbers at the home of the US Nationals. In what universe are such feats even possible? These are the gifts that Drag Week gives us on a regular basis, once you've drove your stuff seven hundred and fifty miles on American two lanes to get there.
These guys just didn't dream of showing up though, they had goals, and a seven second time slip was near the top of that list. It was hard to imagine the little Opel Ascona could make a more perfect run that it laid down on the Indy 1320, with an achingly close 8.018-169.74.
