You know how much power you are going to need to trap 130mph in a 1/4 mile track? My rough estimate is over 500HP for a normal street car, good luck getting there. 60-130 isn't something special, it's just a number some ricers came up with. It really is just a pissing contest, who wants a golden shower?

I use my pbox for analytics between my cars, my driving and other people's driving. I use it to show what I can do to improve my driving or bust some stupid myths.

You are right I am a puss, I spent way too much time gathering data that most people don't know how to use/understand. At the same time I am sure 98% of the owners don't care since they will never attempt a track event or do anything other than fast and furious pulls.

you dont need to do it on a publice road. there are many private events, and this in an international thing, not just the USA. open your mind up to something other than your preconceived lack of performance interests.
