How quick and fast- Friday Topeka edition.
- Thread starter Just Paul
- Start date
Just got home from an amazing day, I am so keyed up I can't go to sleep! 2000 foot air on a 78 degree racetrack shows if you get any kind of decent air at all, HPT puts up the numbers. I'm sure glad it's still on the schedule! Personal highlights for me:
1/Scott Palmer's way all-time best 3.87. The crowd really responded to this low-buck team's celebratory reaction. They looked like they had just won the whole race!
2/Terry McMillan's way all-time best 3.76. No need to recap the trials and tribulations of this team. Terry and Rob Wendland are two of the real good guys of the sport.
3/The absolute science-fiction speeds of the floppers. What is it about this track and funny cars?
4/On most of the runs the engines were "happy". The worst incident was John Force scraping up the shiny on his new Camaro SS.
Saturday high 72 degrees....could we see more?

6 FC's over 330mph - 7 FC's in the 3.80's and possibly the same or even BETTER air Sat. !!! They will rotate the earth.

Amazed that the crowd weren't on their feet after the run. I would have been standing and cheering.

There are seven FC's over 330: Hagan, Beckman, Wilkerson, C. Force, DeJoria, Worsham, Hight. Ten runs over 330 so far!

I think everyone was so shocked, especially by the speed that it took a few moments to sink in...

Paul, that was a nice run. Dale Creasy's 4.08 was pretty impressive also. Scott and his team were waiting at Dales trailer to congratulate him after that run.
