    Looking through some stats and was trying to find out who gets the credit for the fastest roots powered TAD.

    Who and what year.

    Anyone have the answer?

    TJ Zizzo

    I believie it's TJ Zizzo. I don't remember the exact time he ran, but he ran it in Joliet 7 or 8 years ago. If I remember right, it was somewhere in the 5.80's or 5.90's.

    Newberry's 5.69

    I was there to watch Bob run 5.69 @ the Texas Motorplex and he did it on Goodyears with something like 17 passes on them. It was awesome.

    As he mentioned in his video, he ran a 5.61 at 257 MPH or was that a 60 ft time of 5.61 at 25.70 MPH?
