Moon Pie I suppose better internals and superchargers. I wonder if they would hold together to the quarter what would they run. Tires would be a question.
Damien Harris recently ran 336.99 at the City of Ipswich Winternationals here in Australia. In the not too distant future, the world Top Fuel speed record will belong to an Australian.
Not much the US drag racers can do about it, NHRA Top Fuel is stuck at a 1000 ft for the time being. Don't get too cocky though, the US fuel cars are creeping up on this speed record with 320 less ft. If they uncork those on the bigger 1/4 tracks, I'm guessing the bigger teams would be in the mid 340's easy...maybe even 350 mph.
Tony Schumacher and Alan Johnson, now that was a team anybody would want
Alan Johnson has made so many good runs with the army dragster.
I was there!!:D
I still remember seeing this in person! Such a Cool memory! My first Nationals!!! Like he said, there aint nothing like seeing that live!
I hope he's back full time in 2021 so he can kick Torrence's ass!!!!
Now you got fuel funny cars pushing 339mph to 1000ft. Totally nuts numbers..
And Schumacher went 299mph to the 1/8th mile in Arizona this weekend..
too cool wow 337 mph wish i could have been there
Dom Lagana in 2018 went 338 in Martin, Michigan
Tony!
tony is a tank
278 mph in the eighth and this year in brainerd they were running 299 mph in the eighth. good lord what would they be in the quarter mile.

Gee it only took 13 years.
LOL how about that 338 by Lagana? Americans had to go to Oz to cement that record I guess.
cmccarthy Hight ran 339 a couple years ago. In a 1,000 ft.
It just ain't the same anymore
A billionaire father can't get his kid back out here. Glad to see my money US ARMY supporting this
if only they were still running a full 1320 the speeds we would see would be amazing
Nothing better than some proper drag racing at a quarter mile. Not this stupid 1000 ft crap
So what if they don't have enough real estate to slow down it's only someones life that dies right
My fucking brother sat in that car before that and I remember seeing that.
Cheated
