WOW someone had some digging to do on that! Pretty nice! Thank you!

 

[vegasnitro]

Awesome list!

Several names I don't recognize. Several big names that won much later in their careers than I originally thought, and just some weird statistical anomalies. Kenny Bernstein won in Top Fuel before The Mongoose did? That is weird. And if Pat Dakin wins another event, that would have to be a record ... 43 years between wins!

 

[Dave]

And if Pat Dakin wins another event, that would have to be a record ... 43 years between wins!

And ironically both of Dakin's wins came at Sanair. He has never won in the USA.

 

[FABMAN]

Thanks, awesome list I'm like Chris took some of them longer than I thought. Bernstein thats wild

 

[mastertone]

ok and who was the one that did it with a Chevy powered Top Fuel dragster? I know you old guys know, how about you young guys? Under 40?

 

[Nunz]

Bucher did it with a Chevy. Hey, I feel under 40!!

Hehe, excellent. Many thanks.

 

[NitroBruin]

it is amazing to think that in all his years of racing The Greek is not on that list. Seems a shame

Here's a video I've been working on. All 100 drivers are accounted for. Enjoy!

i concur, this is a cool thread.
question: did frank put pat and del both into 300mph club?...it was 1993.
almost positive he put pat in, not entirely sure about del but i think so.
(he put only female member into that club too...rachel splatt)

here is another real cool list stumbled upon.

I like it! Some I noticed missing from the Top Fuel section were Joe Amato's 4.562 from Brainerd 1997 that was never backed up, Doug Kalitta's 4.420 from Joliet 2003 that was never backed up, and Tony Schumachers 337. 58 from Brainerd in 2005.

Also:
91 Phoenix Jim White 284.62
91 Houston Glenn Mikres 286.25
91 US Nationals Jim White 287.81
91 Keystone Nats Jim White 289.94
91 Chief Nats Jim White 290.13
91 World Finals Jim White 291.82

They found 7 mph from February to November! That was huge. Then the team closed up shop and Wes Cerny went over to KB and in March 1992 we saw 300.

Or Dallas in 1987. The record going into the weekend was 5.482
87 Chief Nats John Force 5.453
87 Chief Nats Mark Oswald 5.449
87 Chief Nats Mike Dunn 5.443
87 Chief Nats John Force 5.396
87 Chief Nats Ed McCulloch 5.366

0.116 in one weekend! Those were the good old days. Could you imagine the record going from a 3.96 to a 3.84 now? Crazy. Of course back then they were still refining and learning and making big gains, now it's all pretty set in stone, and the quicker you go the harder it is to make big leaps.

I am sure AJ had input ... but the listed crew chiefs for those were Aaron Brooks, Brian Hausen and Jason McCulloch if I remember correctly.
