Richie would love to show up at Englishtown for the next-to-last NHRA event of 2002 and take back the record, which at 7.88 is a tall order. The Toyota could spoil the show and maybe break into the elusive 7-second zone. That would be something to see. At any rate, there's no question that 760 whp and 8.0-second performance make this red rocket the ultimate Old Schooler.
