Don't get *too* excited, remember this is only testing. What's to say they only have 85% in the tank or a rev-limiter in place. They might have hopped it all out to see what the wing will take.

If it's safer, then it's safer and NHRA needs to wake up and smell the Nitro, er, uh, oops, I mean coffee.
Why not get excited? Regardless of what was in the tank, it still went 4.49? If it can handle a 4.49 with 100% Nitro and no rev-limiter, I'm willing to bet it can handle a 4.49 at 85% Nitro with a rev-limiter. If it's safer, then it's safer and NHRA needs to wake up and smell the Nitro, er, uh, oops, I mean coffee.
You dont go out and test above 85% or without the limiter , Simply because the data you aquire is USELESS.
TF @ IHRA is 90% but when we go there we run 85% simply cause it doesnt help to run above what is mandated in NHRA.
I figure they were running it balls to the wall to see what the wing may or may not handle, but that is purely speculation on my part.
Not necessarily *useless* if they are testing the durability of the new wing strut.
