Decided to go down to the good ole boy dragstrip out in BFE TN.

My fastest time was a 10.996 with a reaction of .397, I was consistently doing 11.1's the whole night though. Did about 6 runs.





Oh yeah.................. this was in my stock 94 R in the 1/8 mile I almost beat a big 2500 cummings diesel truck, he got me by 6/10ths of a second.... almost

 

1/8th mile....


...who does that?

 

Hey don't hate, the only track I have locally here is just under a 1/8th.

Sweet times by the way

 

Nice time lol by the title I figured you have built car lol

 

so that means a 20 second 1/4?

 

Logic says so...

 

I'm pretty sure you can't double the 1/8 mile to equal the 1/4 mile. Probably because of gearing, momentum, etc.

 

it was a joke.


But running the 1/8th is like running a dyno to 3700rpm.

 

Sorry, it's early.

 

OP you owe me a 10 second car

 

Or because you start the next 1/8 mile going 60 mph.

 

I always start my 1/4 mile from a 40 roll.

 

I saw a stock 5.0 Mustang 'vert run 10 secs in the 8th mile just for comparison.

 

Ill trade you mine, straight up




10 second 5.0 mustang.... wow.

The track I ran is apprantly suck-***. Going into second I would watch the tach go from 5300-5500 and stay at 5500 for what seemed like 1.5 seconds. Was worried my clutch was going out but a friend that watched me run said I was spinning, which is damn near unheard of with that car.

My car is 100% stock except for a FM front sway, 15x7s with 205 gforce sports. I took out some air pressure from the rear tires, which I later figured out that it hurt me more than helped, lol.

The closest 1/4 mile track is in Bristol, 2 hours away. I figure it would run mid 16s I suppose. Never drag raced before so..... who knows.

 

65.345 mph........sir

 

Don't knock it until you try it.

Everyone who has never been to an 1/8 mile track makes fun of it. Experienced drag racers will tell you otherwise.

 

I've been to a 1/4 in my altima. I more of a man than you.

 

lol 1/8th mile good stuff

 

What is the altitude of your track?

If you had the stock 14" wheel and tire combo, you would go much faster. When my car was stock, I would pump all four tires to 45 psi to make the car roll easier. It works, and is easy to change in minutes. It is not like a stock Miata is so overpowered that the tires will spin out of control. However, with the tires that hard, it take a little bit of practice to launch properly.

Try adjusting the timing. I saw gains there as well.

Most stock miatas I have seen at sea level, go faster than 10.50's at 67-69 mph in the 1/8th. Take all of the **** out of the trunk you don't need.

 

My trunk was packed full of **** lol.

I had my tires at 25 psi

My timing is stock, probly won't change, probly won't drag race again honestly lol.

205/50/15 tires.... not sure about the altitude, no sea level since im in East Tenn. mountain range.

I had a friend told me he ran a 10.40 or something close in his stock R-package, but he had a hefty clutch.
