Hector Arana Jr. was competing in the NHRA Gatornationals in Gainesville, Florida.  He lost the race, but did make history while competing in the NHRA Gatornationals. He broke the world record for the first person to go 200 mph for the qualifying race. But, it wasn’t until seven seasons after Eddie Krawiec cracked the 199 mph mark. Hector Arana had set the previous record of 199.88 in 2015 and collected a $10,000 prize from Denso Auto Parts for being the first to go 200 mph. Unfortunately for Arana, he was knocked out in the first elimination round of the main event on Sunday, which was won by Krawiec, who tripped the lights at the now-relatively glacial speed of 199.76 mph.
