Actually using some of the best 1/4 mile software around its almost impossible to replicate the corresponding 60 ft 1/8th and 1/4 mile times to most turbo cars . In fact turbo cars tend to have a high terminal speed relative to their E.T . If a turbo car has a good 1/8th mile you can bet its 1/4 times are going to impress . Having watched jasons car on the 1/8th mile the last 50 metres or so it REALLY starting to motor .which is typical of a largish turbo (relative to engine capacity) Considering the cars history high 11's are not only possible they are probable and i'd bet my left one it will do them .But the software actually doesnt agree the most common forumla is 1/8th mile time times 1.5832.which is 12.38 .But i have almost always proven its 1.477 for big turbo cars and i belive that Jasons previous 1/8th mile times where slower than 7.8 but with 12.1 1/4 mile times (correct me if im wrong) all that aside dubbo WAS awesome it was great to see so many people getting into it The best thing about the drags is it gets rid of all the bullshit or overconfidence what you run is what you run .and all cars are on an equal playing field . i had my dyno plus in the car for all my runs and it was either the same or slighlty slower .as the timing gear (this is because the dyno plus start as soon as you move ).not break the beam . i went home and ran an 8.65(still with major traction problems) .but ran 8.82 at the drags .................BIG DEAL !! under the same circumstances (traction temp etc) the other cars would also have run faster times .so i would have been beaten by the same margin or even more drag racing is all about setup .you run what you run NO EXCUSES at that track on that day My choice of tyre was wrong .my pressures to low and my boost too high(ran rich) .sure ill change a lot of things before my next run but so will the others that i raced (im sure) you run what you run quoting times 1/2 a second faster is wank in a 1400kg vehicle it takes 60 H.p(at the wheels) more to run 1/2 a second faster (assuming with extra power you can get the same traction)AND the power gain gives the same power delivery (not more lag ) you need only see Phills times at 8.69 only 0.13 faster than mine .but to see the two cars race he blew me silly (about 3 or 4 car lenghths ).over a 1/4 mile he would be 1/2 a second faster at least (well done Phill) Jason that thing is awesome !!!!!!!!!! i couldnt stop laughing after you almost drilled that wicked cortina i wish id raced you you might have sucked me along the strip faster Luke hahahaaaa this time i won ....thats 1 all ..oh yeah and 12 to 3 in the fart comp Andrew ....ill get you next time ..oh well what's the score now you 1 me 36 ??????? Norbie please dont put any more boost into that thing im already behind and at max boost (gotta love that 2j torque) thanx everyone for making it such a fun weekend hope to see more people next year oh yeah we will post all the official times ASAP [Report message to a moderator]
