Hey man you had what is known as the hot dog wrapper phenomenon. Sometimes a piece of paper blows through the lights at the funniest times.

My race car runs 10.30's @ 130 and 60's around 1.42. It's not AWD either. You did not hit a 1.275 sixty foot. Sorry.

 

on the paper it does tho

 

This guy seemed so happy and he got shot down in seconds lol...

 

happened to me once i usually run 1.6 on street tires, then one run it said i ran a 1.427, i even showed the timeslip. did some more tries and never got close. timing error. sorry buddy. john sheperd with the worlds fastest dsm, awd with slicks runs 1.3 60's

 

thats crazy i have to see the slip to agree

 

the slip will show 1.2. i did the same thing. the fact is can he do it again.....no. not to insult or anything. timing errors suck cause they get your hopes all up and you feeling good. but **** happens. sorry to hear your i/c popped off

 

 

^^^ Finally...Where'd you get that?

SRT forums? ha..ha..ha

 

I've been around drag cars for a while, and not to add to it, but its seems far fetched.

 

This is off topic but at import war #7 at gld on sunday there was a blue evo that was competing in the class "D". He ran an ET time of 10.5 or so at 127 mph. It was incredible, they told me he was using a smaller turbo? and AMS change the gearing around. Does anybody know who this is.

 

With different gearing you don't need as much HP to run a 10. But top speed is probably just a tiny bit faster than what he traps in the 1/4. He probably has about 530 HP at the crank or 415 at the wheels.

 

About the 1.275 sixty-foot time... do the math. In order to do that, you have to accelerate at about 2.3 G's for the full sixty feet.

The equation is: 3.75 divided by (time in seconds squared) equals G's of acceleration.

A 60' time of 1.6 seconds corresponds to about 1.46 G's of acceleration -- this is pretty close to the best-case grip that you can possibly get from street tires under perfect conditions.

The 1.275 was a timing error.

 

Alright guys chill we all know its a timing error, poor guy lol. We had some dude @ Cecil a month ago going around telling people he cut a 0.90 60 ft. Given he drives an 11 sec turbo civic but we all looked at him like "do you know what you are saying lol"
