You know, it's pretty hard to beat someone when he's going 988 MPH at the 1/8th mile mark, that's my story and I'm stickin' to it. Geez, the G forces this guy must have endured! Actually, it was my good buddy Mel and his 402cid '67 Camaro. I believe it was the fastest speed of the day including the 2 jet cars that could only do a measly 288 mph. The right lane just couldn't get a grip on the 1/8th mile speeds on 1/4 mi runs all day and that was the record. But, keep looking further and you'll see what else is phenomenal about this race. We both dialed a 13.50 for a heads up race and we both ran dead-on 13.487's. His .532 light just nipped my .538 and was the difference in mov! What a race even if I did lose. I had the early lead out of the hole but he came on, on the upper end and evened it up. Since we both broke out the only thing I could have done was to let off at the end to keep from breaking out but I had no idea that we were that quick.
