1/8 mile times

I went to Denton to run the C32 and got 6 passes. I really could not get traction like the last time. 1.87 60' while this time my best was a 2.00. I was sort of disappointed with the MPH but not a bad time for a full tank of gas and a 300 lb drive.

My best:

2.00 60'
8.74 1/8 mile
81.43 Mph

I let my friend who weighs around 170 and he ran a 8.9 at 84.32 mph on a 2.1 60'. I guess weight has alot todo with trap speed.

Overall fun day and my friends vette ran a 7.2 at 95.82!

His extra tenth in the first sixty feet can give him a trap speed advantage, but it likely isn't this much in just an eighth of a mile. Weight is most likely the factor.

I am getting a gtech pro rr for christmas, and I will report back what my 05 c55 1/8th miles times and break downs are if that would be helpful, or if you would be interested.

I weigh a low bodyfat, x-large frame, 250 (it's all about weight distribution, haha), so there could be some variance there, but I am willing to report if you are willing to listen.

Take care and those times aren't so bad.

P.S.

I am sure you know this, but that second eighth goes more than a bit quicker than the first.

Yea I would be interested.

BTW: my best time in the C32 is a 8.53 on a 1.87 60' at 84 mph. Great track prep helps. I looaded the converter to 2400 and stomped on the gas!
