I thought I heard on TV it was a headwind?

Well no timed 340 run has happened, but on 338-339 runs I'm sure they could be hitting 340 before slowing down. And while the current tires my be the best ever, my only complaint is that they don't make billows of smoke on the burnouts!
Strong tailwind out of the west on Saturday...

Headwind crosswind on Friday.
If they were both allowed a reduction in weight, then yes. But that's not going to happen and neither will 4 second, 300mph runs. NHRA fiddled with TAD parity until they were blue in the face; it's pretty equal now so they've decided to let that sleeping dog sleep. I believe that's the reason injected nitro cars aren't allowed in TAFC - nobody wants to bear the expense and years of parity hassle for a dying class.
Hight's team did its damndest 4 years ago to break 340 at Sonoma and came withing a whisker of doing it (339.87) along with FC's first and only 3.7 pass (Brainerd, same year). Force tried 2 years ago at Dallas under superb Friday night conditions and ran 338-something @ 3.82. I was sitting in the finish-line stands; what a pass.
I dunno - there's probably a 340 out there somewhere but I'm not holding my breath.Hagan ran .79 at 338 at Indy in 2017. Not long after Robert went 339 in Sonoma. Probably my favorite run I’ve ever seen live lolIf they were both allowed a reduction in weight, then yes. But that's not going to happen and neither will 4 second, 300mph runs.

I thought Hight was the only one to run 3.79?

It was on pace for 340+ on the 3.79 run in Brained. 2 more MPH at the 1/8 than the 339 run (292 up to 294!) but put a hole out before the lights and only (ha ha) went 338. That run would have broke both barriers.
