It's because they rattle off, "The ACdelco, Army, Wal-mart, Platex, Goodys, Fram, Nutrigrain, Summit, Twinkee, Dodge ran good today" all in one breath.

That's some crazy mph. Ever notice the wrinkles at the outside corner of their eyes? Any one hear about Don Garlits hurting his eye due to pulling both paracutes at the same time.

Yeah i believe that Garlits, Amato and a few others i cant remember right now have all damaged their eyes from the g-force these cars pull wich is why they can no longer race. I dont know for sure but it somehow pulls the muscle around your eyes out and after so many passes the muscle wont go back tight into the eye socket.

Bernstein and a few others had to get their eye sockets sewn back together from all the g's of deceleration. Top fuel is no joke.

that sounds like boxers who, after a lifetime of getting beaten in the head, sound like a drunken bum when they talk becuase it gives them brain damage.

the et record is 4.41 and the mph is 336 it would have been 337 put he didn't back it up on sunday <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by jerseykid609 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">thats smoken fast !!! i wonder what there going to do now to try and slow them down. </TD></TR></TABLE> they have already tried to slow them down from last year by going from 90% nitromethane to 85% nitromethane but they are going faster than before the 336 and the 337 were run on 85% they were running only 330 at 100% with no alchol mixture i think at 85% they can control more of the horsepower on the track
