1/4 track results

[threlevenguy]

well since it was my first time and a relatively new car i had to figure out when to let off the clutch due to the crucial wheel hop i was getting but its possible

xLibelle - now that's better! I am seeing these 15 second passes and having drawbacks to when civics were drag racing and braking into 16s and 15s like 5-8 years ago lol

Is it difficult to get a good 60' in e30 (ie. 1.7 or so) ?

i saw the thread title a figured it an invitation to anyone's stats...

:ohsnap: I've done it enough to know how it works. I can sit there all day then go, clock won't start clicking until the tires cross the line. It has no effect on your 1/4 mile time or trap speed.

he's right as far as your time goes, clock doesnt start till the tires cross the line.. but when it comes to actually competing against another car its very important. everyone is right! hey look at that..

you need grippy rear slicks, a high gear ratio rear end (3.73 or higher), and a strong clutch to be a good drag racer.

work on valving with shocks like QA1's to get good weight transfer and you can probably hit 14's.

Half-decent MPH considering you've probably got super low compression with your e to i head swap, unless you added different pistons?

Get your 60ft down to 2.0 or less and you'll be near 14s.

if you beat a SRT4 at 15,5 that guy was a bad driver. Not that I like SRT4s, but I was beat in my M3 running a 14,3 by 2/10s of a second. but still, a 15,5 seems alright.

reaction time does matter in bracket racing, but yeah if you just want to know how fast it is, it wont matter. but thats kinda boring to just run grudge style.

[ptownTSI]

slower than my stock grand cherokee...

[T3HCH1LL5]

not bad, for a rook

[rThor432]

I think it's funny that all the M50 swap guys are barely faster, if at all, than a stock 325i..

Me too.. After all that work.

[Jean]

Reaction time does not matter in DRAG RACING?????????? ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY?? OR ARE YOU JUST SLOW MINDED?? IF you have ever gone bracket racing ....EVER... You will know that unless there is no leadership from the event coordinator at the track, reaction time and consistency are the most important things you can focus on! " Reaction time Does not matter"....WOW!

On another note, That is awesome that you had a good time at the track. what have you done to your car? Have you ever tried auto X? That is allot of fun.
