it hasn't been run yet they are running it for the first time this weekend in adelaide... also it's not like a 1/4 mile time there is different classes they run in

i think the one he is running it in there is certain distance to speed up then they have to reach a certain speed within another distance then have to slow down

like the 300km/h runs Japan is rumoured to have (first man to 300 wins, even if the second guy can crack 400 two seconds later)?
