Ever wanted to accelerate from 0 to 330 mph in 3.8 seconds; flying past the landscape at the pace of 2 football fields per second!!!!?

You need to meet National Hot Rod Association's 7 time world champion, Tony Schumahcer and his Army Racing Team and sign up for the ride!

Today we are celebrating our 10th year of Top Fuel Racing, and "The Sarge", Tony Schumacher (the driver) is in the house here at Knox.

Here is a photo of his car, just outside my office front door at the Lt. General Timothy J. Maude Complex, where the Commanding General is going to make a few remarks to celebrate this 10 year relationship here in just a few minutes and Tony is going to put some "icing on the cake" as he tells us all why he has been the Army's #1 spokesman for 10 years running...and championship after championship in the bag.

I have to scoot to catch the ceremony, then I'll tell you more about  that rocket machine he races and The Sarge's 6 Top-Fuel World Championships with the Army (7 total championships for this amazing athlete and driver)!

Here are a few photos of the car, and one photo with me standing in front, and I don't recall why my mouth was open nor to whom I was speaking.  I must have been in awe of this world-class dragster and its winning Army team!

I am going downstairs to hear the General's comments and then to help celebrate....more on the car in my follow-up blog for The Sarge after Labor Day!

Come watch him race and win in Indianapolis this weekend...
