First race of 2023, personal best 5.48 at 124mph

Would terrify me to go airborne at the front and finish at 125 mph, though your car appears stable. Tesla fans brag that the latest factory Model S Plaid runs a 9.2 sec qtr mile, while a 1967 Plymouth slant-six ran 9.1 sec (w/ turbocharger). The difference is in a street-driveable car, which the Hellcat Redeye is about the best possible for a factory gas car (10.1 sec). Tesla racers are mostly "just write a check" types, but something to be said for that since lower total cost and can drive to work on Monday.

To continue beating battery-cars, just need to extend the track, since they look more like a wind-up toy, jumping out fast then almost gliding, with a gas car quickly gaining at the end. But, 125 mph is already dangerous. Will surely lose to them in a 1/8-mile race. Top-fuel drag racing went the other way, shortening the race to keep speeds safer, though still not really with 300+ mph at the end.
