So I went out to the 1/4 mile at the Texas Motorplex yesterday. Ran a new best 60', 1/8 mile, and 1/4 mile, so it was a pretty good day. My second to last run I was lined up to run against some old Camaro who looked to be a 10 or 11 second car. Well, he ended up getting towed off the track for some reason, so they brought up the next guy in line....a rail. I couldn't believe it, but they actually let me race the guy.
He let off after passing the 1/8 mile mark, and crossed the 1/4 mile in 6.949 seconds. My high-12-second Mustang was feeling a little inadequate.
Here's the timeslip info:
.............. LEFT (him) ......... RIGHT (me)
R/T .......... 0.060 ................. 0.205
60' .......... 0.952 ................. 1.762
330 ......... 2.603 ................. 5.352
1/8 .......... 3.991 ................. 8.337
MPH ....... 175.94 ................ 83.61
1000 ....... 5.420 ................ 10.906
1/4 .......... 6.949 ................ 13.040
MPH ....... 135.35 ................ 106.13
I'll never forget that.
