This was taken from the internet, I forgot where.
Since they closed down street-legal drag racing at Pomona and there's not another decent 1/4-mile drag strip around I decided to try my hand at the Irwindale 1/8th-mile strip. Here's my best run about 2 years ago (on my 18" street tires):
R/T: 0.541
60': 1.866
330: 5.298
1/8: 8.130
1/8 MPH: 86.63
Here's some photos from Irwindale:
Here's some old pictures from Pomona. I was able to borrow a set of slicks and try them. This was when my car was new and had almost no mods.
R/T: 1.064 (I fell asleep)
60': 1.909
330: 5.369
1/8: 8.248
1/8 MPH: 85.95
1000: 10.768
1/4: 12.926
1/4 MPH: 102.37
Here's my old best time slip on street tires:
R/T: 0.758
60': 2.075
330: 5.714
1/8: 8.697
1/8 MPH: 83.92
1000: 11.209
1/4: 13.335
1/4 MPH: 108.36
As you can see, the rolling friction from the slicks greatly reduced my trap speed, while the gain in the 60' time decreased my ET. Too bad I suck at drag racing.
Here's a couple shots of me staging.
The race is on! |
