At 300 mph those Fuel cars are traveling 440 feet per second. The difference between 1,000 feet and 1,320 feet is covered in .727-second.

So, all this agonizing is about watching racing for a difference of less than three-quarters of a second?

I wonder how long it takes to blink your eyes???

Simple. 10.5x31.5W tire. Run 'em hard, they blow the tires off. Run 'em soft, they slow down. End of problem.

Thanks, Jim....so, if you blink your eyes while they're running that last 320 feet, you'll still have .52-sec. to watch the rest of the race! Splended!!!! Half a second!!! No wonder everybody's so excited about this!!!
