1/4 Mile Times

ET's are all over the board for all cars. You can't tell me your C8 is going to run an 11.3 at sea level and then run an 11.3 at a 4000 DA track. Not going to happen.

I can tell you at 1000da and 2500da at my home track it has. Several track days and I got it on video.

You should have been able to run at least a 11.25 going down to a DA of 900. You're leaving ET on the table if you're running the same time in every weather condition.
I'd guarantee you you're not going to pull off an 11.3 on our track up here. Our track is 2250 ft above sea level. The best DA that I ran in up here was 3200.
When I lived in British Columbia and ran at Mission Raceway in Mission. The track there was at 2500 ft above sea level. The da would usually be between 800 and 1500. My old 2014 Mustang GT convertible with heavy 20-in rims on it would run consistent 12.6 at 112 mph. I've Got A Fistful of Time Slips that are only a few hundreds of a second apart.

Oh and by the way. Nice runs you made in the videos!

Yeah man. This is not my first rodeo. I've been drag racing at the track for 45 years. Literally made hundreds of passes.

I understand, I started racing in 1975, but when I made my 1st run down the track at the 2020 NMRA Spring Shootout with a brand new car with street tires, on a green track, I spun my wheels similar to you. By the end of the 4 day event, the track surface was better and after making multiple tire pressure adjustments, I was able to launch and shift without tire spin.

Yes the unfortunate thing is there's always going to be inconsistencies as far as track prep and weather conditions. The track here sucks too because it runs from east to West and we're always running into a headwind. Sometimes the wind is fairly mild but there's other times when it's 10 to 20+ mph. At any rate we're almost always running into a headwind. LOL
Check out this shit! It's only 63° here but look at the da!
