BRITTANY BAGS THE BIG ONE:
QUICKEST EVER!
The conditions may have been absolutely
perfect and the track preparation the most
conducive to performance since the beginning
of drag racing’s “new age” but Brittany
Force clocked the quickest elapsed time ever
recorded by a wheel-driven vehicle over the
thousand-feet distance during the NHRA’s
35th annual Mopar Express Lane Nationals
presented by Pennzoil at Maple Grove (PA)
Raceway.
It was amazing drag race at which the top
half of the Top Fuel Dragster field qualified un-
der 3.70 seconds. Each of the four qualifying
sessions was contested in miraculous weather
and the final period, in which the air was 2,300
feet above sea level and the surface was 97
degrees, was actually considered to have the

WORST conditions. Nonetheless, Force pushed
her David Grubnic-tuned Advance Auto Parts
missile to its third consecutive pass of 3.66
or better, a never-before-seen 3.624 at 331.61
miles per hour.
In conjunction with several other unearthly
performances including the second-fastest
drag racing speed ever posted, a 339.28 blast
by Ron Capps in his NAPA Auto Parts Dodge
Charger Funny Car coordinated by Rahn Tobler
from the Don Schumacher team, Force’s 3.62
was, in effect, a massive air raid siren for the
NHRA in its ongoing battle to keep speeds
below 340 miles per hour. As soon as the num-
ber flashed on the scoreboard, racers and fans
alike knew there would be hell to pay.
The sanctioning body had every reason to
be concerned. Upon inspection of the progres-
sive elapsed times during the run, it became
