Due to poor timing, I haven't been able to get to the 1/4 mile since I had my uprev done. Well, tonight Lakeland dragway was running 1/8th races. Was experimenting with different shift methods (paddle shifter...auto trans...produced the hardest shifts breaking the tires loose on both the 1-2 AND 2-3 shifts). I'd like to speculate what my 1/4 time/mph may have been.
1/4...039 rt, 2.077 60ft, 8.71 660ft, 83.3mph, 13.42@104.6 78*
1/8...194 rt, 2.035 60ft, 8.43 660ft, 85.4mph...????? 58*
these are the best runs of both days.
I know, it doesn't count until I submit the slips AND the 1/4 mile time is just speculation until I actually run it but I'm curious.
Next time I'll experiment with tire pressure to reduce spinning.
Thanks to anyone who replies (in kind...I know the haymakers are coming too...lol)
For reference, just about all my 12.9 and 12.8 runs were 8.3x @ 86.x mph 1/8 mile times.
