1/4times... need some quick help
Yeah lets start out by me saying Im an idiot... now that thats out of the way
Last time I was at the track (on stock tires) I ran 16.4 with a R/T of 1.5... heh yeah I was messin with radio... does this mean it actually took me 14.9 to run the 1320 or 16.4. Guess what Im asking is- does the timing computer calculate the R/T and subtract it from the stripe-stripe time or not? Also my new tires lower gearing by about .10... anyone know what this might do to my time as last time, as I said, was 16.4@87mph... thanks

I dunno to answer your question. still 16.4 isn't too shabby .. i think that counts your RT .. i could be wrong

You still ran it in 16.4.
14.9 That would be very fast in your highlander.

even if they did count r/t it'd only be 15.4 since a perfect r/t is .5 seconds.

Your reaction doesn't count, b/c they don't start the 1/4 timers until you break the staging beams...if you sit there for half an hour, you'd still have a 16.4.

See that makes sense Niacin, but while I was watching NHRA drag racing on ESPN (i was bored and in denial over exams)... they said lots of people won because of the "holeshot"... they got a better jump and lower R/T and thus a lower 1/4 time... I dunno maybe your right... do u know for sure or are ya just guessing? Thanks again!

well, it matters, because they actualy race, thats bracket racing, where the first person to the end wins. then your R/T matters. but if your doing a test and tune night thing, then it counts breaking the beams to start the time

4thgenlude is right, that's bracket racing, where the rules really change. And I'm positive. Not going with the herd doesn't make someone a moron. Max |
