I would like to mention the fastest 1/4 mile time for a wheel driven vehicle;
346.779 mph, by Don Vesco "Team Dempsey-Vesco Turbinator" 1999 World Finals,
Bonneville Salt Flats.
Second fastest 1/4 mile time Tom Burkland at 341.154 mph, 2000 World of
Speed. I know overall the 2-way average is what counts, but these fast
speeds at the 1/4 mile gives us a good look at what the 2001 race year will
bring. Interesting coming up with the fastest 1 mile, 2 mile, 3 mile and
Exit speed times. More food for thought. Cris, Salt Lake
