The Spiderman broke both the top speed and ET records on his Top Fuel dragbike at the Manufacturer’s Cup Final at South Georgia Motorsports Park in Cecil, Georgia, November 20 – at an age where most people are thinking about retiring. One run set the ET record: 5.6111 seconds. Another one set the top speed record: 258.27. There’s an interesting story and short video of the Man from Poquoson, Virginia, trying to describe just what that’s like, over here at the Daily Press.
