This weekend at the NHRA New England Nationals, the best tip for Top Fuel records was to always have an eraser on hand.

The class reset the previous year’s track record, which had belonged to Force at 335.57 mph, six times. Although Doug Kalitta, Justin Ashley, and Antron Brown took turns in the spotlight, Force emerged victorious with a blast of 341.42 mph. (As of last November, Austin Prock of Funny Car still holds the record for the fastest speed in the history of the sport, 341.68).
A late-Saturday engine explosion was overcome by Funny Car veteran J.R. Todd. And after defeating his arch-enemy Erica Enders, Greg Anderson retained all the Pro Stock trophies at his KB Titan headquarters, preventing her from earning her historic 50th career victory.
