I watched that last night, his run was straight down the track, nice and smooth, there is no question he knows what he's doing and is good at it.

Gaige sure makes it look Easy ? Straight as a String, every run this Year- Low ET evey un but 1 and still won , undefeated !

Is it Rider Talent, Setup, New Bodywork or just raw Power 1.03 @ 60'...4.28 @ 660', 6.677 @ 202 mph ?

Matt 6.799 beside Gaige 6.677 on same run was pushed towards the wall , Wind ? Matt 30'+ behind ?

Chip Ellis on Matt's Buell is 2nd @, 6.75, 20'+ behind

Can NHRA do anything about him? Hes WAY quicker than everyone else with the same rules. His slowest pass was a 6.725, which was .027 quicker than the next quickest person period. Avg et this weekend was 6.697! Would V&H be cheating up his bike only or is he really that damn good?
