DRIVER SITE STATE DATE Steve Jackson Gainesville FL 3/17/2019 1 5.379 BRITTANY BECOMES TOP FUEL’S PERFORMANCE STAR! Sixteen days after she stole the National Hot Rod Association’s National Elapsed Time Record at 3.623 seconds, Brittany Force oblit- erated the organization’s speed standard to officially consolidate her title as Drag Racing’s reigning performance luminary. During competition at the 19th annual NHRA Dodge Nationals presented by Pennzoil in rare conditions at Bruton Smith’s Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada, the Californian recorded the fastest terminal speed ever clocked by a wheel-driven vehicle over the thousand-feet distance at a stunning 338.17 miles per hour. The pass erased Tony Schumacher’s 336.57 mph record set over twenty-one months earlier at Phoenix, Arizona, much in the way she destroyed Clay Millican’s previous 3.628 ET record which stood for over twenty months! That her David Grubnic-tuned Advance Auto Parts dragster is the sport’s powerhouse is without question. Brittany’s driving skills have been proven from her 2013 NHRA Rookie of the Year title through ten National Event wins and a 2017 NHRA World Championship.

BIRT’S RADIAL ‘VETTE DESTROYS MORE NITROUS RECORDS! When Marcus Birt posted a staggering 3.57-second blast at the recent Shakedown Nationals XVII at Virginia Motorsports Park, he became the quickest driver in history in both Drag Radial and Unlimited Nitrous Oxide competition. The veteran from Gray, Georgia, stunned the planet fifty days later at the 26th annual World Street Nationals at Orlando (FL) Speed World when his Jerry Bickel-built 2016 Corvette screamed to a 3.553 to place itself six hundredths of a second ahead of the second-quickest nitrous-injected race car in the sport, Jamie Hancock’s ’68 Firebird, (3.612 seconds).
