Fast Lady

While I'm on here, also got the TV on an ESPN drag racing show.

Someone just did a 4.4 something quarter mile, with a top speed just over 320 MPH (530 KPH). How fast is that

And the driver was a girl

Cheers

Quick as well....


I didn't always realise that in drag racing there's a difference between quick and fast

320 MPH or 530 KPH depending which country you're in.

seriously, though - yes, that's one fast lady...

i bet she couldn't take a corner at that speed,
the lambo countach was quite fast in a straight line but you wouldn't want to do any racedays in one

Are you sure the driver was a girl? - After all it is called Drag racing ...................

Don't worry, she probably only put enough fuel in to get 1/4 of a mile away

On a less sexist note women make excellent drag racers since their reaction time is, on average, better than mens. With a 4.4 second race being 100th of a second faster pressing the go pedal makes a huge difference (time for some pedant to point out it makes 0.01 second difference )
