Went back to the strip.....

I headed back to the local 1/8 mile track here in Mount Vernon. It was a little cooler so I expected some improvement.
First run was 10.2 and change. Then the planets aligned I had what had to be a close perfect run the second time.
Second run time was 9.985 at 72.70 mph. My MM is totally stock and my reaction time was .686. Apparently a .5 reaction at this track is perfect. If you have a reaction under .5 you red light. I learn something new every time I go there.
This is the most fun you can have with your clothes on for $10.00. I am hooked. I used to take my bike and run 7.2 easily but I get 3 to 4 times the run with a car. Bang for the buck fun!

Isn't it fun! That equates to a low 15 1/4. Is it a Sportsman Tree or a Protree? How many yellow lits?

[Rob1559]

Three yellow lights. Don't blink or you miss the third yellow.

Way to go. Keep it up

Rob, all it takes is once, and your hooked, huh?

To compare, I have run a 9.985 @ 72.49 while on my way to running 15.256 @ 93.22. This was with a 2.290 for my 60' time. What was your 60'?

[Rob1559]

My 60 time was 2.333 but the reaction was .725.

My 60 time was 2.333 but the reaction was .725.

Depending on your local track, a perfect reaction time may (or may not) be a .500 Your reaction time doesn't feed into the overall time (either 1/8, or 1/4). It is really only used to measure the driver's capabilities, not the car

That 60-foot seems to be about the average, but, while I haven't managed it yet, I think that a low 2.2xx or 2.1xx is possible, in stock form... Rule of thumb is that every .1 in the 60" is equal to .15-.2 in the 1/4.
