Brittany Force made the fastest run in Top Fuel history and reset the national speed record to 338.48 mph in her Flav-R-Pac dragster in the opening round of the NHRA Midwest Nationals at World Wide Technology Raceway.

Amazing. Not sure where people get their nerve to do such things. I might have had that nerve at 20 but not at cough cough my age.

I know your Corolla is not top fuel but did you come close to this at the track?? :D

If I got a chance to get licensed in a Top Fuel car, I would do it and I'm near 60.

Last weekend, the Corolla ran a best of 17.54 seconds at 78.13 mph.   ;D

My quickest and fastest run down the quarter-mile is 10.55 seconds at 126 mph.
