Pete Walton sent me this report from the Finals:

"Dave Wilson 279. Fastest TMD run outside of the states by a long way."

Awesome, you really can appreciate how fast these things are when you view it from that angle.

Agreed.....now the privilege of crew members and video watchers since they shut the barn down :roll:

Anyway, fantastic run, an amazing speed :thumbright:
Talking of which, here's a fav of mine which I think gives an even more amazing impression of acceleration, should be very similar to what Dave's would look like from this angle, it's a 267 pass by another Alky Dragster (OK, I know Daves is not Alky but it runs in that class!)
