I wonder if the NHRA will change up there ideas for the coming season after this last weekend? Non NHRA event, packed house, way more social media coverage than normal etc. This put fuel cars in front of a crowd that isn't normally an NHRA audience, hopefully they took some notes. I know Gainesville doesn't have trouble selling tickets but I bet this event helps insure a sellout. I know how fast fuel cars are but they ran the Cleetus Mcfarland "Ruby" corvette against Clay Millican and it is a good reminder just how damn fast they are. This video should start where the run is. https://youtu.be/CLquxbZvWSk?si=LgCcqtyYTuSbyEW4&t=751

That is fast. Faster now then when they shortened it to 1000'. What will NHRA to do next, shortened it to 1/8?

So what helped there, cool temps, sea level, tail wind, etc?
Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

If they do anything they could just make those more aggressive. My guess, and I am often wrong, is that they will not do anything unless the speeds really get up there for everyone. Tasca could make changes to make the car quicker, that could slow it down. It has to do with the interaction with the previously mentioned rev limiter. All really over my head.

If the car is really on a pass it might loft pass the rev limit and continue to accelerate some before the rev limit pulls it back.
