It became obvious he was going to smash the record when he ran 4.000 @ 188 mph in the 1/8th.

That was a phenomenal test run, Indicating his truck has 5 sec potential

That will keep the Americans happy, they never really accepted that Andy Frost held the record. I wonder if he has anything left to take it back off them? it's a pretty big leap....

Perhaps if he went on a Full Race car set up like Larson he might gain a bit but I think top end rpm is or was his problem?...already maxxed out at around 8500 I think from what I've read.
