Well I finally got to the track.
It was about 65 degrees, 100 percent humidity and 30.00 barometric pressure.
The first 3 runs, I went from a 16.5 to a 16.079. On the fourth run, I had my best everything except the trap speed due to the fact that I redlighted. I was mad so I let off at the last second at the end of the track.
My time was a best of 15.774
Reaction time was .485 (Was running reds all night long with .495 and .485's, I never could get the tree down)
60 foot time was 2.236 with the 81 mph.
Both of our cavies were losing traction due to the water (which you cant go around, and I dont burn out) and the slick conditions with the high humidity.
One last thing, I did have the car gutted for this event and I did get my 15.7 that I was looking for.
Since I drive an auto, I power braked at 1500 and ran in gear 3 instead of d drive, made a difference.
It was a lot of fun!
Ill have my time slips posted on my site in a few days. Got to scan them.
Later.
Btw, my previous best 1/4 time was 16.126, so Im kinda happy with my new times. If the track was in better condition and the humidity a lot lower (like a day ago), then I know I could have hooked up with 15.5.
Nitrous Oxide, here we come. :p
 
Heres My time slip.

Ill be hopefully running the 1/8 mile real soon. Ive still got the interior gutted and once I run the 1/8, will reinstall the newly done interior.
Later.

Good time. That's a nice improvement:thumbsup: I dont really look at this forum much, so that's why it took such a long time for a reply:(
 
Just a question:

I like Drag Racing but I do not follow it all that much isnt the .500 the fastest reaction time possible?
