Like it says, I had a blast.
Just got the thing back and raced it to the end
-Tracks Closed For The Winter
I ran 8.90@80.91 can someone please tell me what this would be if it were a true 1/4 mile. The tracks temp at the end was like 40 degrees so the New England Dragway decided to only run 1/8 mile.

Oh and it was my first time running since 2 yrs ago. I used to run 1.9 60ft's but that was with the t5. My t56 is a bit different off the line. The engine kept bogging and my 60's were like 2.1seconds. pretty crappy for me even though I was on my street tires. My best time proir to this was 13.3@103.6 on street tires of course.
(I cant afford to break anything with slicks just yet)

an 8.90 is similar to a 13.9-14.0

JFYI- in my experience a 8.99 1/8th was always a 13.99 1/4 mile run.

eww, i guess my 60ft needs serious improvement. right before i granaded my t5 i had 1.9 60ft times but i was also ran a best of 13.3@103.6 and that was also on street tires. seems as if something isnt right. i did think that my clutch wasnt grabbing the whole way and my engine would bog really bad off the line.

how much of a difference do you guys think it would make if my timing was set to 13-14 degrees rather than the 10 it was set at?

now im all bummed out, guess the driver needs some more seat time.

That was a bummer this weekend Fawcett at NED, but keep in mind it was snowing on Saturday. They were thinking of opening the track up to the full 1/4 on Sunday, but by the time it warmed up enough, everyone running their Gambler's Race had already dialed in on the 1/8th, so it wouldn't have been fair to those guys to then change to the 1/4.

Beautiful day to practice your 60 ft. though on Sunday! I watched for a few hours before I couldn't take the fact I didn't have my car with me to make some passes! lol

timing hurt you... other than the 1st, the gearing is better

and not to mention the added weight of the t56
