What do you do run and what's your timeslip look like?

Cheers!

9.96@142.something.

 

[Pacfanweb]

1/8 mile et/speed 6.96 @ 98+mph.....for comparison purposes 7.00 in the 1/8 equals 10.90 in the 1/4

 

[sharkeeper]

What are you driving?!

Nothing out of the showroom gets decent times any more. :| (unless it has two wheels!) I saw a stock viper running low 12's last week.

Cheers!

2000 GSXR1000.
Cars are for hauling groceries and moving people, NO cars should be used for driving excitement. For all out speed, they're just too boring.

Have a hard time keeping the front wheel down out of the hole?

Cheers!

Kinda. I'm a little light.
And eating at McDonalds four times a week isn't helping either! I'm just gonna have to strap a 30lb weight onto the front forks somehow.

You'd be surprised at what a wheelie bar and a rear slick will do!

Cheers!

That's too much like work installing those on track days. I like seeing what it'll do in the same trim as I ride it on the street.

A wheelie bar gives you room for the groceries!

Cheers!

13.something... haven't been to the track in a while.

 

[cjchaps]

Best for me was 13.96 at 98 or something like that...

Opening day at the track is April 3rd, I'm taking my recently acquired Daytona there, which is good for mid 14's stock. I can't wait till I throw some mods on there I'll let you guys know what I pull for a time!

 

[blueghost75]

I have never ran, but I think my car gets high 14s...?


(5spd 4th gen maxima)

 

[LAUST]

14.97 @ 89mph <-- Serious low-end

Thats @ Bandimere Speedway (5800 FT) I run on par with the Stock 2001 Lightning's

 

[CraigRT]

no clue.. '01 Neon R/T with Iceman cold air intake..

 

[sharkeeper]

Yes it is quite funny watching these riceboys making all this farting noise and seeing 14's and 15's. I should bring my B&K next time.

I saw everything from four wheel ATV's (just behind the riceboys) to big dodge turbo diesels to a low nine second barracuda. It's redneckville up at Cecil County Dragway. Feels good to get off the beaten path and do something different for a change!

Cheers!
