Post Possible world record?

For MPH in the eigth mile. I'm still waiting for the L so I took the Cobra out tonight. Man did I have to lay on the brakes to keep from beaking out! I was car # 207.



OK, so it was an error. But it sure got a few laughs at the track.

Talking

Kind of amusing, but I picked up the June issue of Road & Track, the one with the article on drag racing, and I was amazed to learned that a contemporary top fuel rail is doing around 275 mph at the 1/8 mile mark. So you have the record for now, but for how long?
