Tony Schemacher covered a quarter mile in 4.441 seconds starting at 0. My calculations say he reached 202.66 mph assuming constant acceleration. Top speed is 333.08 for the 2004 NHRA Top Fuel Championship-winning U.S. Army dragster. Cool.
I was there for that. Starting Line... Got some real dope shots of the fuel rails. The army car ran into some problems though in earlier runs.
