300.80 MPH in 660 feet!!!!!! WOW!!!!

Wasn't very long ago I remember reading that a dragster could never obtain 200 in the quarter. The car would disintegrate if it happened.

Some decades before that, people believed that if you traveled faster than a certain speed (I think it was about 30 mph) in
an automobile, that you wouldn't be able to breathe.  This made no sense to me, because horses can run faster than that . . .
and, of course, so can cheetahs.

Didn't you ever hear the expression "Winners never cheat; Cheetahs never win"?

. . . and please, don't get me started about those genius-types who said that
science can't explain how bees can fly . . .

W/r/t "So much for engineers":

So, if one is wrong, engineering has no value?
Everything in cars (and planes and electric toothbrushes and Playstation) was designed by engineers. Who did you think it was, interior decorators?

Having graduated from an engineering university -- I think I'll sit this one out.   8-) 8-)

In power line work we have a saying, you can always tell an engineer, you just cant tell them much. Sorry Slim !
