Great stuff.
There will always be non believers here and everywhere.
Consider the fact that we have seen over the years so many off the wall reports of speeds that when its actually done we suffer "Chicken Little" syndrome. I truly think the reason that this particular incident is so well received is due to its presentation. It shows a properly groomed surface capable of the task as well as a capable vehicle. Add in the unedited video on a clear day with the proper camera angles on the car, track, and equipment and you have a much more believable record of the event.

Not taking away anything from others that are doing such great work but presentation of this event is why there is much less controversy over it then others in the past.

Now go do 90 someone PLEASE
Unofficially we went 93mph, but we blew up that motor at the 3/4 mile mark. We didn't want to make a claim, we could not repeat that day. The other motor we used was a backup.
