Wow Morgan Lucas lays down an AWESOME pass. Not to be overlooked.. Khalid with a career best 3.76 and can only watch. Of note he left first too.

Amazing run! Those national records better look out today.

Mind blown!!! 291 to half track is just ridiculous!!!

 

[Butch]

Gonna have to shorten the track to 330'. Them dang cars are just too fast.

Looked like he lost a cylinder just past the 1/8. What if it would have held together?

Amazing pass. Track temp 100*, Hole out the last 300 feet.

He ran 3.74 with a 3.01 660 time. In Gainesville he was running 3.74 with a 2.99 660 time. That tells me if they can match the early numbers with that 290 speed, that puts him 3.72 or so.

When Del ran 3.73 last year, I thought that was so far out there, it would not be touched for awhile. I was wrong....

 

[my friends call me Zappy]

In a word...OUTSTANDING!!!

That's "ludicrous speed" for sure!

Just something to think about, I crunched Morgan's numbers against Tony Shoe's "The Run," and at Morgan's higher rate of acceleration (142 ft/s/s vs. 138 ft/s/s @ 660') it would have extrapolated to a 4.405 at 340 mph in the 1320!!!

Kalitta's crew ran the numbers on Doug's 4.42 pass a few years back, and determined that at 660', the car was producing 10,200 horsepower. And Lucas' car was significantly faster at 660 feet than Kalitta's.
