I did some playing around on the TGTT and came up with a 1/4 mile drag strip that is pretty accurate and well marked. The start line is on the 3rd large runway marker from the left by the Hammerhead, and the finish line is the second line at the intersection of Chicago and Bentley, by the plane.
To mark the length, I used the Fiat 500 in first gear to run one minute at 15 mph.
Here is a video showing the "track" (sorry about the shaky cell phone video). The first pass is a slow one that marks the start and finish lines, and then I made a full speed pass.
To time the cars, I use a stopwatch app on my phone; I start it on launch, and stop it when the finish line disappears from the bottom of the screen. I make three passes and average them. For consistency, I'm using auto trannies, sport soft tires, ABS=1, TCS = 1 (as needed), and all other aids off.
That stock ZR-1 in the video ran a 10.91 BTW.
