i know this is prolly a shot in the dark, & it's a lil long, but here goes anyway.

my track hasn't opened up yet & i've been itching to go to one for a while. well, one of our fine police officers set up one of the automatic speed radars on the side of the road, that let you know how fast you are going, EXACTLY 1/8th mile from a red light (i measured ). well after i figured out it was a 1/8th mi. i got stopped at the light & since there was noone around, when it went green i nailed it. well when i got up on it it read 84 mph.

i was wondering if someone on here could share a few of their 1/8th mi. E.T.'s with a similar mph, if you have them. i know it's not going to be exact, but it will give me a rough estimate. thanks guys

I'd say around mid 8's.Without a 60ft, make it a little tougher to tell.
