With many TD racers going to supercharged/procharged combos now, and the fields getting faster and faster, I'm curious about something. Does anybody know what the fastest NATURALLY ASPIRATED TD run is? Just got me thinking about some things and I can't seem to find anything on it. What I'd like to know is what was the et, mph, car setup, etc......

No, not trying to be a record setter myself, just curious as to what it is...

Nobody seems to know! BlahBlah

Nick is a little lighter than myself and I believe it was 1855lbs on the scales at Houston with him in it.

1%er or not, the facts remain… it’s performance IS impressive and it’s the quickest and fastest n/a 9 degree headed combo that I am aware of but the car it’s in does not weigh 1910 lbs.

There's a margin of error for any given weight, on any car.

What is that margin of error?

It goes for any weight given from any Truthful individual, on any car.

2,000 lbs - 20 lbs my guess.

There's a bunch of net arguments I'll bet too, over those 20 lbs.

For what it's worth, weighed a car last week and out of curiosity weighed myself on each scale.

This is an inexpensive system, but there was an 8 lbs swing between the 4 scales.

8 Lbs is a gallon of gas and helmet or firesuit or calibration between the scales.

Even if car is 100 Lbs lighter than someone thinks it is that is maybe .10 of a second and not no half a second. So what if it is 1855 and not 1910 Lbs? Like 55 Lbs is going to make a big difference. Geez. The question was what is fasted NA BBC Top Dragster? The NHRA requires BBC N/A Top Dragster to weigh minimum of 1600 Lbs. As long as it is over NHRA legal minimum who cares what the weight is? Are there many that are close to the 1600 Lbs minimum any way? And why does NHRA even have a minimum on Top Dragster when they have an index?

To go faster you need more Horsepower or lighter weight.

Did the OP ask what is Fastest Top Dragster N/A that weighs 1910 or more? No, just asked what is fastest N/A Top Dragster. I do not know or care who has fastest but it is silly to argue about how much it weighs or what color it is.

"Dunning-Kruger Effect"
-a type of Cognitive bias where people with little expertise or ability assume they have superior expertise or ability. This overestimation occurs as a result of the fact that they do not have enough knowledge to know they don't have enough knowledge.

Before you argue with someone ask yourself, "Is this person mentally mature enough to grasp the concept of a different perspective?" If not there is no point to argue.
