Yes it is a Top fuel car!!!
I love MIke!!! A coulpe of years ago, I was @ the US Nations walking around before things started happening, He was talking to his daughter who was riding a Pro Stock bike at the time. We stoped and waited, and I asked him about his BAD ASS Semis ! Lowered and chromed out to the max!!!!!!!!!!! I asked him how it got the front bumper on the ground? He talked to us for about 5 minutes explinded the way he did it, and why they were so long! He pulled out his phone and was showing pic's on his phone!!! That is why I love NRHA because the Pros are for the most part, just like we are, regular guys who love racing!!! A few years ago I rode in the same plane that JR todd was on back to Indy after he won in Vegas, and he had the Wally in his hand!! |

300 in the eighth is insane. I remember around 30 years ago Kenny Bernstein was the first to hit 300 in the quarter. Or at least that’s what my t-shirt said.

I saw the first ..301.70 at Gainesville .
I believe Gary Selzi went 299 to the 1/8 way back in the 98% nitro days 20 years ago.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
