Well, I took the bird to the track to make some runs, and couldn't get the thing to hook. It was kind of what I was expecting on the first time out with it tho. This pass was done with the foot brake, as I was doing shakedown runs.

60' 1.694
330' 4.343
1/8 6.323
mph 121.65

Data log shows I was "peddling" it for 3.85 seconds. (between 58* and 100* throttle) I was running on a new set of M/T ET Drag Radials 30"x10", and the track wasn't hooking well, so I may have some better numbers to report in the near future.

1/8 mile ET is too high for that MPH so you really were having traction problems.

If you can get 122 mph in the 1/8, you should have a high 8 second to very low 9 second ride at close to 150 mph in the 1/4.

You should also be able to get a 1.3xx 60' time.

 

I agree with your analysis, I wasn't able to do anything with first gear, and never shifted into third. Eighth mile came quick!

 

wow i thought 101mph in the 8th was good

 

wow those times are asininely fast! You live in DE? where is an 1/8th mile track 'round there? I thought they were all 1/4? Atco, Cecil, etc...

 

I do live in Delaware, I was at Cecil. I was doing a liscense pass.
The rest of the track I was coasting, and light braking.
Final numbers were...

1000' 8.29
1/4 10.32
mph 102.14

Car was never shifted into third, when I let off the gas, it is like being in neutural. TH400 reverse pattern trans.

 

Nice work. I'm typically around 115 mph in the 1/8th, but my ET is in the low 6.1's (1.30 60 ft.). With that mph, you should be in the 5's if you can get that thing to hook. Stephen is also correct with his 1/4 mile calculations. You're making some serious power.
