Jonnie Lindberg became the first Top Alcohol Funny Car on the planet to break the 5.3-second and 270-mph barriers, but he capped it off by scoring his second NHRA win during the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals.
 
After setting the speed record during his last outing in Gainesville at 268.71 mph, Lindberg surpassed his record with a 5.473 at 270.10 mph despite pedaling the car to get through early tire shake.
 
Lindberg upped the ante in his next run with a 5.361 at 272.01 mph pass. The 5.361 elapsed time was a half-tenth quicker than the previous quickest run in NHRA history set by Frank Manzo four years earlier.
