ok, what are your 1/4 times? Mine in my new 88 cutlass supreme is 15.61, but, that was with a stop watch in a rough 1/4mile, so give or take a few?

But what are yours. even if there like this one, you can get an "about".

Lets hear em!

I would just look funny showing up at the track to test my 1/4 time... And I'd likely be over 20 seconds anyways

lol yea, thats how it is with me and my 85 delta, but oh well. love what you got!

15.84 @ 88MPH (2.2 60') w/stock tires @ Boise Firebird Raceway 11/04

94 Oldsmobile 442 with two V6 engines:
13.81 @ 98+ mph 1.9s 60' times (consistent-dontcha love 4 wheel drive!)
in 90+ degree weather at over 60% humidity!

on 01 GAGT rims with brand new street tires!

should have higher trap speeds but my guess is all the extra roatational inertia of the two transaxles/axles etc is slowing us down on the top end...but she is def a beast in the 1/8th mile!

Look on the window:

im not sure what mine would run.... maybe ill give er a shot...

What is that number there for? is it to tell them what your best is of the day, or ever or what?

wow

Hi c_creations, hello everyone,


In Bracket (handicap) racing, the driver picks a time he thinks his car will run. It's called a dial-in and it's marked where the timing tower can see it and set the lights to reflect the difference between the two cars dial-ins. The car with the slower dial gets a head start. If both drivers get identical reaction times, and both run on their dial, they will tie. Since reaction times differ, and cars don't always run exactly on their dial, one car always wins. A red light, or too quick an ET (break out) is an automatic loss.

The number is his dial-in. He ran 10.80s on that day.

A lot more can be learned by visiting your local strip as a spectator.

Both my Coupes will run 11.90s (at sea level) using 92 unleaded. The 468 at 116 MPH and the 439 at 114.

Regards, Norm

Well said ,go to your local track and give it a try. Trust me you WILL be hooked ......Mike

Yea, im goin in a couple weeks to watch the races ill be in next year. so im hopein to learn alot!

12.4@ 111 with the '72 the first time out....haven't been back since, and had alot of things that needed changed or updated, but hopefully next year I'll be back at it......should be in the mid 11's fairly easily if everything works out and holds together.

14.6@93 2.1 60', probably could have gone faster if I had couple more runs. I need more traction and I should have messed with my carb and timing too, but not to shabby for a smog motor

Thats real good mph for 12.40's. My car with the old motor run 11.60-70 at 111-112. So its got more ET in it.Probably some tuning and a few tweeks and it will get the ET too......Mike
