I don't mean to take anything away from Gary Wolkwitz; but Charlie Westcott Jr. set the SS/AH record at 8.22@162+ back in November of 2010 at South Georgia Motorsports Park. The NHRA retired the record after 2 years. Here is a link to a video of the run:

CW Jr. went 8.22 with a 1 Gary went 8.22 with a 9........... Like to see that R on the back window.

Gary's run ^^^^^^

FWIW, I'd bet that the 2 mph and more than a few thousanths in ET can be attributed to better aerodynamics on the 'Cuda. Incredible nonetheless.

Just to set the record straight, Gary Wolkwitz reset the record at the Virginia Points Race with an 8.21 with a zero. Also for future reference, the MPH in a stick car compared to an automatic car will more than likely be less. An Automatic car has converter slippage in high gear were a stick car is locked up one to one, therefore the stick car will produce a better MPH. Furturemore, Gary Wolkwitz has the faster car in SS/AH history and has posted several 8.20's runs which is outstanding for all the countless hours vested into the race car.
