What's your 1/4 mi times and speeds? My 1/8th mi have been around
72 mph @ 9.9, 9.8... With my 1/4 mi times @ 15.4-15.6, 89-90.5 mph
consistently.
My reaction times stink (1.04-8.8 average, with a best of .617 --a fluke!).
I shift to
4th gear right before the 1/8th mi, so I lose a bit of acceleration at that
point, but
make up 18 mph on the tall end (it begins to REALLY pull right before the
lights...
darn). I ran with 215-75-15 BFG A'Ts, and then again with Qualifier-clones
255-60-15..
Only difference was better traction off the line, but nearly identical
times. My average
time was .2-.4 seconds faster though.
