first time at the track

There was a track meet today at the Great Lakes Dragway in Wi. This is the best timeslip. I ran a 15.1 first time and then 14.9's all day long. I was getting good reaction times, and pretty good 60' ft times but my high end suckked.. Highest trap speed was a 94Mph. I need to find out whats wrong with my car..( and get a wheel alignment and balancing )

R/T .271
60' 2.233
330 .....
1/8 9.555
Mph 73.06
1000 12.441
1/4 14.878
Mph 92.15

Not bad times and they seem about right for your mods.

If your trapping 94mph you can probally pull off a 14.6. stock wheels?

Good times! I wish I could have made it there this weekend.

Zack, use this equation to find your max MPH in each gear. Its more accurate than using the tach or speedo:

MPH=(engine RPM X Tire Radius) / (Final Gear Ratio X 168)
