I was there, it was a Monday early to finish the race because as usual Maple Grove had bad weather over the weekend of the race. It wasn't very crowded and the crowd was easy going (all real race fans), it was damp but not cold. I just knew someone was going to beak the record that day. After all its Maple Grove in October, records fall and are made. Antron's Top Fuel left the hole stuck like his slicks were made of juicy fruit gum and he seemed to hit the 330ft mark like it was the 60ft mark. When he crossed the 1/8th mile (660ft) with the clutch fully engaged, straight as an arrow, and continuing to increase acceleration it LOOKED SO FRICKIN' GOOD!!! What was weird about that run was the sound; it was noticeably louder and was just so short, I mean he was just GONE!!!

They didn't cut it in half they cut it to 1000 feet for Nitro cars because of Scott Kalitta getting killed. Some of the older tracks don't have ability to build a big runoff area which is what the NHRA required after Scott died. Crew Chiefs are engineers, they will find a way to make more power and in turn more speed. Part of that innovation was because of Austin Coil, Bernie Fedderly, Jimmie Prock, Dean Antonelli, Dan Hood, John Medlen and a host of others that I can't think of right now.

These guys get around 5 G's, but nowhere G-loc for trained pilots. The g thresholds at which these effects occur depend on the training, age and fitness of the individual. An un-trained individual not used to the G-straining maneuver can black out between 4 and 6 g, particularly if this is pulled suddenly. A trained, fit individual wearing a g suit and practicing the straining maneuver can, with some difficulty, sustain up to 12-14g without loss of consciousness. The "Blue Angels"[citation needed] have to perform their maneuvers without the aid of flight-suits, and regularly sustain 3-5 second bursts of 10 g thresholds

@@danchristopher7957 they can go at speeds on the 1000 ft that they could on the 1/4 mile now so I call bullshit, NHRA just doesn't want to pay for increasing safety measures so they're taking fun out of the sport. If they were really about safety then they should have made the runoffs longer, tracks wider, maybe added some safety nets and stuff like that, I think you get my point. Top Fuel is still amazing though.

that was 1/4 mile . they only do 1000 ft for the last bunch of years as the speeds were getting too dangerous. a current car would probably hit 400 mph or more in 1/4 mile.engines would explode more ,cars would have difficulty stopping etc

Part of racing is keeping the car together. 60ft times? I found hearing the cylinders firing...thud...thud...thud at the finish line with the car doing 300mph amazing. Didn't sound much over 1000 rpm when they let off.
