After running a 9.9? yesterday, Richie ran a 9.78@140 mph! we had to leave early, but he was eager to get out again and go for a 'mid' 9 video to follow

Such performance should be 'outlawed' – oh, sorry, it already is! Very cool, indeed...

Awesome, Well done Richie, well deserved. So a backed up 9, does that mean 9.79 is a new record?
