Using the old X 1.55 formula that is like 11.40 in the quarter mile. Sweet!!


The 1/8th to 1/4 mile formulas are based on bracket cars/race cars which have well sorted suspensions and leave really well..... My car is the excact oposite - leaves like crap and runs a lot of MPH.

With the MPH I have, I should be running 6.90's in the 1/8th mile which means the car should run high 10's in the 1/4 mile. You typically gain 25-30mph from 1/8th mile to 1/4mile. If I can run over 125mph in the 1/4mile I'll be thrilled to death.

High 10's in the 1/4 mile is my goal. I'm going to keep working on the car until I can run 6.90's or 100mph in the 1/8th mile - which ever comes first. The nearest 1/4mile tracks are too far away for me to drive to and risk breaking the car.
