European pro numbers
Discussion
Just been checking out I our freinds numbers across the pod in the nhra compared to tierp numbers ans our pro mod and pro stock no 1 qualifying numbers would put them at no.1 over there to ... now before you all jump on the band waggon. .. I no about humidity and air pressure. . Just thought with the new tracks being laid in certain category's we aint that fair behind .ie pro stock CAR .. tmf and dragsters within reason... that taking into effect thats one of there biggest motor sports (3rd) if im correct. .. and the pay big bucks and do it for a living. .. so credit to our European racers I thinks ... by the way what an event tierp has turned out ... roll on the finals .. but no to quick as you all no the off season lasts a life time
I new the yaks ran less overdrive than us but wasnt 100% sure on the percentages .. even so the European guys hav came on so much with the limited track time ... its a real pleasure to watch now (well always has been for me) with some real credible et/speeds. . Only class no really on par ar the fuelers... that said still mind blowing. ..
Pro Stock and TAFC numbers are world class calibre right now 
I only went back 5 NHRA meetings but Jimmy would have qualified no1 or 2 at all of them, running a 6.55@212 is stout!! Especially (as Lee said, running unleaded fuel).! NHRA record is 6.47@214 from Mike Edwards I think.
Johan and Leif are right on the money too.
Just hope the fuel cars can make some strides to close the gap, finally a 3.9@300 though at Tierp so that's good.

Also in the US the difference between the top eight cars is closer. More cars get closer to the maximum performance for the conditions, making race day more competitive.
In Pro Stock this weekend the difference between 1-8 at Tierp was o.264 seconds. In the US it was 0.048 seconds.
If the World Pro Mod Challenge that was proposed by Roger Burgess had happened, we might have seen any differences. I think its unlikely we will see NHRA running outside America in the near future so we will just have to keep comparing numbers.

Notable this weekend when making ACTUAL comparisons should be that Bristol is well known for its rather er... "undulating" track surface and is also at around 1500ft above seas level whereas Tierp I believe is about 150ft and SPR around 300ft. Clearly though the PS and TMFC numbers are outstanding.
