no we cant. honestly watching the footage tony was right there by him

I'd have to go back and look, but I think Tony was in the pair after Landon????

EDIT: Ooops....my bad. I thought you were referencing Tony Stewert. It was Tony Shu with Langdon. I initially did think you meant Stewart because he did have a good run in the following pair and is sitting at #2 for the moment.

That’s what happened at Gainesville testing.

Thanks for the confirmation.

Besides seeing it on the scoreboard can we really see the difference between 315 and 345

Don’t forget, that Kalitta car already hit .62 in testing; Although this now makes it “official”. JR Todd also hit his career best speed as well.

Only in person or with Main Event cameras.

Is there a maximum speed that Goodyear or NHRA will allow with the current tires?

Interesting that Valdosta, being in far Southern GA, is only about 110 miles from Gainsville, FL. When have we last had National Event tracks so close to each other? Ontario and Pomona back in the 1970's?

Charlotte and Rockingham are 70 miles apart. Not as close, but Joliet, IL and Martin, Mi are 173 miles apart.

I thought I remembered reading that the latest version of the Goodyear tire was supposed to be good for about 350 mph. That's why there has been no big panic about the 340 speeds.

Goodyear doesn’t have a speed rating on the tire.
