Because you claimed that I had make belief numbers. Theres your proof, again nothing special. IDK why you would think someone would make up times that slow.

Dude. It wasnt that serious. I also said NO ONE CARES.

My point was that you with your mad tyte awesome 14 second car have no room to SPECULATE on the preparation of a track.

Even a 15 second car can be a 16 second car if you can't get off the line. I've ran before and spun off the line, at Bradenton I am holding back from spinning because it will more than likely result in wheel hop and I don't have traction bars. I am betting on a 2.0 60ft on street tires next time I run which would put in me the low 14's.

go tell that to every heads up racer out there, thats the dumbest comment in here.

getting your car to the 1/4 requires you to make it work first thru the 1/8th mile!!!!!!

once u get past that first 1/8th mile, the other is for peaple that cant set up a car and
just trying to catch up.

do a little research on 1/8th mile racing b4 u bash it, it levels the playing field for any combo
makes u work to get your set up rite, not just throw a turbo on it and hope for the best on the
other end!!!!

I like the 1/4 mile just because cars can play catch up. Thats usually where I get my ass handed to me, I will run side by side or ahead for the 1/8th then they rip past me because I have nothing to spool. I see nothing wrong with it, the faster you go the more fun it is. That extra 20MPH I pick up in the last half of the track makes it more fun for me just because on the streets I would get in trouble for that. Even if I had a car that was fast in the 1/8th I would much rather run the 1/4 more where the risks are greater. That's what makes it fun knowing if something goes wrong you might end up in the hospital for quite some time.

exactly!!!!! in the 1/8 all the turbo cars cant keep up!! but in the 1/4 at the 1000' is when they start to pass me..... i went to the big huge event at bradenton a 4-5 months ago n raced a supra.. i had him at the 1/8.. and the 1000' than he beat me... he trapped like 15 mph higher than i did

But thats the fun of it, I'm out there to race myself, have fun and improve my driver skill. I went 14.893 @ 95.59 then the next pass 14.737 @ 95.51 and then said that is all I wanted to do, good enough I want to make it home without a tow truck this time. So in 1 run I made a .156 improvement. First time out there with the setup I thought that was a nice advancement.
