What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt's eleven-forty Eastern, this is Finally, Some Good News, and folks, tonight a man named Dallas Glenn set a world record at the Texas NHRA FallNationals, with a run of six point four three four seconds.

  2. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSix seconds. That's the whole thing?

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorSix point four three four, Kenji. I watched the whole run with my hands over my heart, and I'm still a little misty, because you only see something that pure a couple of times in your life.

  4. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentI've spent longer than that deciding which video to watch next, and nobody's called it a saga.

  5. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIt was the final qualifying round, and a record in the last round of qualifying is the kind of ending a whole town drives out to see.

  6. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSomewhere Dallas Glenn is getting out of the car and you're still on the first sniffle.

  7. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd I'll be crying about it longer than that.

  8. Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentSo the record was shorter than your intro, and your intro was shorter than the crying. We're back at this same time tomorrow.
