Blink And You'll Miss The Fastest NHRA Funny Car Run Of All Time
Blink And You'll Miss The Fastest NHRA Funny Car Run Of All Time-July 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:40

19-time NHRA Funny Car winner, 2012 national champion and cancer survivor Jack Beckman is used to beating things, but may not have expected to add “national record” to the list. This 323.43 mph, 3.921 second run last Friday at Sonoma Raceway was the fastest in Funny Car history.

The pass was backed up with a 3.958 second run on Saturday, which officially gave Beckman the national Funny Car record for elapsed time (ET).

It’s so ridiculously quick that if you blink or turn away or SQUIRREL!, you’ll miss it. Crank up the volume and enjoy this fire-spitting, record-breaking delight.

Has Red Bull Switched Engine Suppliers Yet?
No. They’re still with Renault. Infiniti Red Bull Racing Formula One driver Daniil Kvyat just retired from the Chinese Grand Prix in a massive cloud of engine failure smoke. At least his aren’t on fire this time. Poor Kvyat can’t catch a break this weekend. The Infiniti Red Bull Racing...

Maldonado vs. Button Was The Real Battle Of The Chinese Grand Prix
If you only concentrated on the winner of the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix, you'd hate this race. Lewis Hamilton nabbed pole and ran away with the win from there. Yawn. Only Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg was anywhere close. No, the real battle was this crazy back-and-forth dogfight for thirteenth...
