.812 in 60'. In comparison, Kalitta and Schumacher went 3.681 and 3.680. Tony was .830 and Dougy was .820! Looks like a sub .8 60' will not be required to go 3.5's

I'd really like to see Clay win a NHRA national event.

0-100 in .812!!! There will be some absurdity this fall when someone goes 300 to the 660. They've been 299. This run was nearly 295 to the 660.

Dom Lagana ran 338+ @ 4.42 full quarter at US131 Martin MI last month in exhibition at the Nostalgia Funny Car Nationals, not sure if he was in legal NHRA trim (weight, rev limiter, etc)since US131 is IHRA. Shumacher had the last ET quartermile record at 4.42 also. Dom's been running good the last several races but he is still a tick behind Antron, Torrence, and a few others. Would be interesting to see what the top runners could have done that weekend, track, weather was great.

330mph =454 ft / sec. So if it didnt pick up any speed in the last 320ft, it would cover that last part of the track in 0.66sec.

3.63 + 0.66 = 4.29 sec in the 1/4 mile.
