What's the big deal about Larry Larson's Truck, he's still 2 seconds slower then the Funny Cars, stop and think about that, pretty amazing!

The funny cars are only running 1000 ft!

I love it , a lot of folks have bitched about Larry, fastest Street car, dragweek, he just keeps proving them wrong. Larry's got it going on!

Yep you're exactly right, so he's actually less then 2 seconds slower, that's funny!

Here's Larry's timeslip from his 5.95 run in Vegas....5.03 1000 ft.!

That's interesting, the "Truck" picks up 50 mph in the last 320 ft. and it takes Larry 92/100ths of a second to cover the last 320 ft. so we're now talking about the "Truck" being only "1 second" slower then a Funny Car on a 1,000 ft. run! Here's another thought, the "Truck" would blow the doors off of a Nostalgia Funny Car, that is if they had doors!

OK, I knew something had to be wrong with my calculations, the "Truck" picks up 50 mph over the last 1/8 mile, not the last 320 ft. a Top Fueler couldn't pick up 50 mph in the last 320 ft. my bad!

Still impressive regardless. Who said we would never see 5's at DW? More to the point, who amongst us thought we see 6's never mind 5's when we celebrated the three eight second Nova's at DW #1?

Still "very" impressive, after DW#1 I was thinking Unlimited is going to turn into a low 7 second race, OK so I missed it by a couple of seconds!
