    275!!

    As big of an accomplishment is that Brandon won his first national event and the first national event by a converter car in TAD (maybe Top Alcohol, but I don't remember if Snyder won an event before he switched to a clutch), I think his 275 speed in air that wasn't quite mine shaft (third fastest by a blown car ever) has to go down as run of the year so far. Especially considering the converter cars aren't known for their big speeds.

    I think that run is comparable to the runs that Brooks Brown and Ed Vickroy made in 1992 in their A/FD's when that combination really started coming on.

    There's not much of a case to be made for a converter car getting a 50 lb weight break anymore, but I don't think it would slow Booher down much.

    Kudos and great job. Impressive, very impressive.

    speeds

    as much as I hate to say anything because we are good friends, the incrementals point to more of a mid 272 speed, which is still damn impressive to say the least.
