Not 1000 feet. I thought the record for 1320 was 342 mph. I’ve done an internet search and I keep getting results for Funny Car and 1000 foot records. This is related to the new record for Brittany Force. She ran 341.59 mph in her Top Fuel Dragster. This is amazing, considering the record for a longer track was 338 or 342 mph.

Also amazing: Bob Tasca went 341.68 in a Nitro Funny Car. A long time ago, John Force said he thinks Funny Cars can go faster than dragsters. No one took him seriously.

Wow. I would have sworn it was Tony Schumacher at 342 and change. Thank you. 

No they didn't run that fast back then, I believe the 1/4 mile speed noted as the fastest were by Dom Lagana in 2017 at 338.35 mph and the second fastest was Tony Schumacher 337.58 mph back in 2005 wich was the National Record as I don't believe Dom Laganas was.
This according to Draglist.
But Brittany Force is not fastest in NHRA with her 341.59 mph, the fastest NHRA National speed record still belongs to Austin Prock in a Nitro Funny Car with 341.68 mph set last year at the Pomona Finals, the same speed as Bob Tasca III set in a Funny Car at the Bradenton, FL test and pro shootout sessions last year but that wasn't a NHRA sanctioned event so he did not get the record.
