I drove around like a fool today to do some drag racing. Drove to a place called Hub City in Hattiesburg, MS and it was rained out. So on whim I tried to find a new track starting up closer to home ( FinishLine Dragstrip - Prentiss, MS). Hit a few Mississippi backroads and with a bit of luck found it.

The track was good but the rest of the place was a work in progress. The good news was that the track hooks up, but the bad news was that they didnt have the speed traps yet that displayed mph/e.t. Man i hate that !

With that being said. I got some video footage and beat my previous best. But this is odd. Most of the times that im used to seemed to be all mixed up ? Can tracks be this different ? The MPH certainly seemed off. Anyways, going to put the timeslip info up, and see if anyone can make any sense of it.

Best Slip:

r/t: .692
60': 2.17
1/8: 8.997
mph: 75.641
1/4: 14.140
mph: 93.478 (is something wrong with this trap ?)

Second Best:

r/t:.563
60': 2.12
1/8: 9.002
mph: 72.279 (what tha ?)
1/4: 14.141
mph: 96.149

Also ran:
14.255 @ 95.876 mph
14.311 @ 96.027 mph
14.374 @ 95.998 mph
14.436 @ 96.682 mph

trying to take pics of the slips to put them up and work on some videos.

Who knows, a brand new drag strip could have some timing or measurement problems, or the times could be perfectly legit. Hit up another track and see what you can do there.
