If he could go that fast he would have when he set the record. If he is that fast, I may just have to hop in my dad's white corvette and help along the AHFS for him!

I was thinking the same.Mr Hale goes as fast as possible in everything he drives.

The record shows whose the fastest, that's why there are record books right?

Has anybody been faster than 10.60s in G/SA besides Hale?

Actually, the record book is not what shows the fastest. There is virtually no incentive to set records, and we don't have any national opens in the south to be able to turn them loose. As Mr. Parker said there are plenty fast G cars. Also, Mr. Hale didn't go 10.60's. He didn't go faster than 10.80s.

He did go .80s granted the air in Kearney wasn't bad. Don't fool yourself. It isn't anywhere near good air. You get about .17 factor but I guarantee you a good day in Houston or Belle Rose is far better then the 17 or so you get there. So his car is easily capable of 60s on a decent day. I didn't make Kearney last year. But most ran pretty close to what they did the year before when I was there. That being said I've gone .20 faster at other non factored tracks that also didn't have good air then I did at Kearney. Kearney and Vegas have the same factor and most days in the spring and fall I'd choose Vegas. Not trying to start an argument but just because it didn't put a .60 on the board doesn't mean it's not capable of running that or better in good air.

I didn't say he wasn't capable. However, the fact is that he didn't. He attempted the record at Shreveport and didn't get it. Altitude tracks effect cars differently as well. Typically a large cubic inch motor doesn't slow down as much as a small block.

G/S lets not forget about a black nova from Calgary...Mr. Gullet can hang with the best.

Gary Parker · 01-01-2015, 05:56 AM

as we all know, there are many fast cars in each class. Anyone that is considered the fastest knows it takes a lot to do so. A good car, great engine , hard work, and an understanding how to make them go fast. And lets not forget $$$$$$$$$$
