Depends on how much they were holding back or if they were holding back anything.There are two unknowns to get to the 7's, HP and traction. Air quality is not as big a deal for a compressed air motor and the Dutch is known for great air. Chassis and tire size will be a problem but I don't think it will be lack of HP for either one of these racers. 8.20 to 7.99 see like a long way but today's technology will shorten up that trip. How short is the question. I will put my money on Holbrook and the 5.0 Ford motor technology to get there first. They will definitely be fun to watch. JMHO Oh and by the way, I have been wrong one time before.
