i went to the dragstrip for the first time last night but it wasnt a full 1/4 mile it was only an 1/8th. i lost all but once and what sucks is i would start pulling on the other car and what do you know its over... but here is one of my time slips and i was curious to what you guys think i would be running at a full 1/4 mile. my buddy says im in the 12's but im thinking mid to high 13's.


Reacation - 1.219 <- working on that
60 ft - 2.406
MPH - 78.26
ET - 9.524

 

I hate to **** on your sunny day, but I think your 1/4 mile times would be quite a bit higher than 13s

I beleive well-driven 2.2s get about 9.5 in the 1/8, correct me if i'm wrong

Edit: NVM 2.2s get around 9.9

-------------------------------------------------------

Tofu with an 8.8 second 1/8 mile ran 13.6 in the quarter to put it in perspective.

I'd say 9.5 would be in the mid 14's


------------------------------------------------------

Sethallen got a 14.3 in the quarter with a 9.41 second eighth

 

thats cool though i just got to keep practicing my launches. thats what were really hurting me

 

how are you launching?

 

i tried a bunch of different styles.
i tried
no spinning the tires before i went out there
2k launches
flatpunching it <- when i did this it feels as if the car hessistates and then takes off
burn outs and then tried both ^ of these.

my fastest recation time of the night was .995 but in that one i ran 9.704

 

High 14's with a 1/8 like that .

heres a link to thread where I posted alot of my slips with a pretty good range from low 14's to mid 13's . Should give ya pretty good gauge . Work on that 60 dude

Everybody seems to have their own sweet spot . Ive gotten pretty good at getting 2.0-2.teen 60's on radials launching off idle , dumping the cluch and qwickly easing in the throttle ....theres no room for error though

Congrats on getting another one to replace the wrecked one . Were u able to find another g85 car ?

 

I ran a 9.1 in the 1/8th, you just need more practice. You will drop down real close to the 8 sec range, thats what it would take to be low 13s or 12s.

 

9.5 in the 1/8th is mid 14's in the quarter.

 

Reaction doesnt make much of a difference other then looking better going down the track.

I ran a 12.3 with a 4 second reaction time waiting for a car to line up beside me but I didnt know I was running solo...hahah I look up and the light is green, at about 1 second. So I reved and launched normally, since there was like an hour wait until I'd get to run again...

Better 60' will definitely help and probably a little quicker shifting, although thats hard to tell without the back half of the numbers...

 

lmao @ who told you you were in the 12's

and since the last 5 posts said you were a mid 14, well it is.

keep practicin!

later

 

yeah this one has the g85 package also, it just diddnt come with the recaros seats. i just took the ones out of my wrecked one and put them in the new one.

that was everything that was on my slip. its a little place called www.racelegal.com
