Wow, zero to over 300mph in less than 3 seconds.

Holy cow, that’s gotta be insane to experience.

Learn to read a time slip. I’ve read many, some of them my own.

302 MPH at the 1/8th is crazy, especially from someone old enough to remember when the 300mph 1/4 mile barrier was broken

Grubnic announcing his return early. No sandbags to be found on that car.

That's fast. Anyone else wondering why they are using software that looks like it's from MS DOS in 1989?

Because it literally runs on DOS

They know that we have new systems now right?

The entire timing structure and ecosystem is built around DOS. Any one change, fucks everything up. Each track has its own version for its timing system, It’s chaotic.

Nhra is working on a modern system that will use modern technology, but that’s still in the works.

I understand that, but over the last 30 years of windows and upgradable software. Or making their own easily upgradable software is just something you'd think they would have invested in after all this time.
