It took me 15 minutes to do 1/4 of a mile this morning.
Flipping traffic in Bradford is awful.

My best 1/4 is rubbish compared to you low 13 second guys on here, but my car is an auto and has only mbc/ BSR optiflow mods...
14.84@92.25mph Can anyone explain to me the relationship between et and terminal speed please? I was expecting a better t/s on the 14.8sec run but it was lower than a 15.06 I did 2 weeks prior @ 95.86mph... |

all depends on the start, if you sat still spinning your wheels for 10 seconds you could still get a good speed but yout time would be rubbish.
when i had a go on my bike, i got talking to a lad who had proper drag bike, his advice was all about the start, keep the front wheel down is quickest (only applies to bikes) |

This is sound advice....The engine will create a decent lag if pointed in the wrong direction..... Cheers Jod

Ok thats cool. My last 20 r/ts averaged out @ .210 (best 0.025, worst 0.410) best 60ft 2.176. Fwd auto volvos aren't the best vehicle for the 1/4 but still lots of fun as they're pretty thin on the ground in France |
