Matt Gill 271 MPH TA/FC

[Cliff]

I'm kinda behind the 8 ball w/ Baby Gators. But did see that Matt Gill Q #1 TA/FC 5.455 271.73. Is this the fastest speed ever for TA/FC? I seem to remember only one or two runs over 270.

Wasn't even a personal best, he has been 272.23.

Annie Whitely has the record at 276.18

They've been consistently over 270 since the 2015 season.

At around the time the nitro guys started laying back the headers a few alky guys tried it. I remember John Lombardo Jr. went 274 at the finals in 2015 and that held for a few years.

I was watching T/AD and TA/FC at Wild Horse yesterday. Guess that's what got me thinking about MPH. I did notice that only around .2 difference in ET between the classes. Used to be .3 cuz of weight. Same thing in Pro classes.

I personally like TA/FC and I hate to see only 7 or 8 entries at national events but I understand it. You can't possibly make money running that class and while it's not as maintenance intensive as the fuel counterparts those cars still require a hell of a lot of highly skilled work and a substantial amount of money to be competitive.

Gill's car has been running strong for quite a few years. With the Sunday weather forecast being cool and clear in Gainesville look for some HUGE numbers in all the classes. I know Steve Boggs is licking his chops. I already have advil in my firesuit pocket on standby!
