12.99 timeslips help me out here.
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)
