During BangShift.com’s exclusive LIVE Streaming Video of the Street Car Super Nationals “Anarchy at the Arch” at Gateway Motorsports Park in St. Louis, Frankie “The Madman” Taylor ran 5.550 at 260.91 mph to become the quickest door slammer in history. This was after running 5.59 earlier in the evening, shutting it off early, as the team had NEVER had this car down a quarter mile track. That’s right, on it’s first pass ever past the 1/8th mile the car ran a record breaking 5.59 and then in the second round of qualifying set another record as Taylor runs 5.550. The data from Racepak looks awesome, but clearly shows that this car has more in it. If conditions are right be prepared to see a low 5.5 second pass, or perhaps a 5.48 or 5.49 second run here this weekend!

I was in my garage working on my car and felt a disturbance in the universe it sounded like chad screaming the news into the night.
When I started watching NHRA back in the early 80’s, the top fuel world record was 5.39 seconds by Gary Beck, I believe. WOW!
When I first starting watching promods they were running high-4s and low-5s in the 1/8th. Just WOW. Now load that thing up on about 75% fuel and see if it’ll go A-to-B. Could qualify against the TF/FC show if NHRA would allow that kind of thing. Oh wait, they don’t allow much innovation any more unless you spend cubic dollars.
