You sure it was a record and not just the fastest recorded run? There is a difference. I heard there were no records set this weekend.
Regardless, its still blazing in a flat!!!!

I hope I'm wrong, but I think he would have had to back up that run to within 1% for it to be a record. Maybe someone here knows the protocol.
That's the way NHRA does it, I would assume boat drags are the same.Quote:
