quarter mile

s2000isu · 06-03-2007, 09:06 PM

Its been a while since I posted but I figured id share a video of me running the quarter at atco. I was getting horrid 60 foots and it was terribly hot so all I could manage was a 14.3 hopefully sometime I will give it another shot.

What was the best time you ran in the 1/8???

That's not jus' 14.3 isu, that's 14.3 on a hot day n' when you were done everythin' was still operational.
All'a sudden 14.3 sounds alot more impressive.
Nicely done sir.
Be well.

my best 8th was 9.3. My 60 foot was pretty sad it was a 2.25. My first run I was like the 4th car to run and the track grabbed great alot better then I expected so I launched to low and bogged a little which resulted in a 2.25. My second run about 30 cars later and one track cleaning after someone blew up and some ricer moron left their ac running at the line as they waited for them to check something down the track grrr. Anyways my second run the track had zero grip with my tires so my second launch I went sideways up the track I wish I had a video. My buddy said the announcer said "thats what we like to see". I dunno if im gonna take that car again or concentrate on my other car now but it was still good times.

Take it to a road course where the car really excels. I think you'll have more fun and it lasts a lot longer than 14 seconds.

Thanks I wasnt sure what the car I purchased and drive almost everyday was good at. I happen to enjoy all kinds of racing.

the car next to me ran a 9 flat and he ended up with a 13.9. He had drag radials on his mustang and still only ended up with a 2.15 60.
