Where do you get this 126 mph? The fastest two that I have ever heard of was Cliff Letts 10L2, which hit over 110 and some dragster that went 112....

unless it has been properly documented it isnt a record...
it is also based on an average,,, i belive when asociated did it it was done two times, and the average was used as the record...
it isnt straight line speed either.. associated did it on a track..
so until it is done properly and documented, associated still has the record.... otherwise it is just hear say

Well, where is the proof?
I find it a bit hard to believe that none of the 4 magazines picked up something like this unless it just happened within the last few weeks.

"well, we wont be bringing the nitrous car to the comp. we ran it several times at our local drag strip. it took about a 30mph push to get it going. after that it was a land rocket. at its fastest it ran through the 1/8 mile speed trap at 126.3mph." By RS4ss.

Sounds like BS to me, not hard for someone to make stuff up on the net to look cool.......and even if its not, its hardly official in anyway.
Do you believe everything you read on the message boards?
