Re: Flaming Fury: Jet Dragster Breaks the 200-mph Barrier at Irwindale
When I read the headline my first thought was "Isn't Irwindale an 1/8th mile track??" Yup, sure is, WOW. It does have a very long shut down though, I'd say longer than a lot of 1/4 mile tracks if I remember rolling down it right, you don't want to miss the first turn out :PEscaped on a technicality.

Very cool for them. A little on the slow side, old news, etc. LOL
Ancel Horton - Abilene Texas - 2003
3.63 @ 222.11 MPH
He took it all the way, we pulled him out of the sand trap. We've got 1000' or so of shutdown.

3.827...
it must have had one hell of a pull in the last quarter of the eighth.
I know of a motorcycle that got into fours as a street machine.. a little CBR 600 honda, driver about 145 pounds.
of course modified, but you may get my point...
gears win. ;DPreviously boxer3main
the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.
