What 1/4 mile time am I going to get next month?

[aboo]

Okay guys & girls. This is just for fun.:)

Going down to Crail on the 12th of June. Its been over a year since I was last there & got a 13.9second 1/4 mile run.

This year I have the Greddy FMIC , lighter wheels, carbon bonnet fitted & I can turn the boost up a bit. I may even get rid of the spare wheel.

What do you think my best time will be?

Guesses.
SY666: 13.4
WOODY72: 13.1
Nutter John: 13.79 et 96 mph - 1.9 60ft
elnevio: 13.5
chrisvr4: 12.9
Atik: 13.633
VR457: 13.65
Steve-vr-4ish: 13.343
SteveH: 13.9
Wodjno: 13.589
e5dcb: 13.7
swinks: 14.2
BillHardy: 13.676
Spirit: 13.685

[sy666]

14.2 lol, around 13.4ish

[aboo]

You cheeky bugger:) I was doing less than that in monsoon style rain:p Here's hoping Sy. Then it will beat Alan's time of 13.6 with all back back seat stripped out.

[WOODY72]

13.1 mate

[Nutter_John]

13.79 et 96 mph - 1.9 60ft

But also depends on how many burgers you've had before running :D

[elnevio]

A nice rousing blast of Flower of Scotland beforehand should shave off a tenth or two! :D

13.5

[chrisvr4]

12.9 if its dry.

/rally :D

[Atik]

13.633

:)

[Humpty's Revenge]

Are they using the following timing variants?

[VR457]

13.65

[aboo]

I like your thinking Chris but don't think I'll knock a whole second off.

@ Steve. Have I told you before your a cheeky bugger :p

[Humpty's Revenge]

@ Steve. Have I told you before your a cheeky bugger :p

/yes

If it's any of the above it could be July 15th at 3.23pm :upsidedow

or 4.22pm :dizzy2:

or 1/4 left!! :laugh:

My guess would be 13.343 or depending on what time of day you run /haz

[SteveH]

13.9 1/4 no change. my only thought is that you'll be stripping the car down by your last run just to beat your previous time/haz

[aboo]

13.9 1/4 no change. my only thought is that you'll be stripping the car down by your last run just to beat your previous time/hazYou could be right:)

[SteveH]

I don't think they allow nudity at the strip though lol

[ILLEGAL]

if the race starts anything like this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49BtJTp-bUI ..... id say you should be wanting to get a easy mid-low 13 if not faster? you cant be afraid to pop things when at the track.. end of the day if you want a better time slip. you haveto push harder.

[aboo]

If I was afraid of braking my car I wouldn't track it Richard. :) It can allways be fixed/yes

[Wodjno]

13.589...

[ILLEGAL]

[Spirit]

[aboo]

Thought I would bump this thread cause I never managed last time but going on Sunday.:)

[wintertidenz]

Blown drivetrain. :P

[aboo]

Blown drivetrain. :PYou don't know how right you may be. I'm getting a whining from the rear diff cause it needs an oil change/yes If I don't get it done tomorrow then this is possible/yes

[Mark 4]

Well I did 12.79 on the Gtech with Nos so I'm goint to agree with NJ and say 13.79.

[aboo]

I'm going to run you Gtech Mark to see what its like.

[aboo]

The winner is VR457 with the closest time of 13.65:)

My best time today was 13.647 et 100,7 mph - 1.896 60ft

Well chuffed with the results today/yes Here are all my times from today. http://www.crailraceway.co.uk/showdrag.php?RID=20&EVDate=2012-04-01

[WOODY72]

Some pretty consistent times there Andy, well done bud. /Devil5

[aboo]

Yep Graham that's why I'm buzzing/yes Very consistent times.

[BillHardy]

Reaction times are very consistent also Andy,can you call me urgently on 01241 890413 about parts from Racerabbit u wanted

[phosty]

Some great times there Andy. If you discount the bikes and Time Attack Evos, yours was the 8th fastest out of 75 cars! I don't feel so bad losing out to that RX7 in the morning - he was no. 1 excluding the bikes etc.

Though you did get out paced by both the Rover 800 and the Nova....../Hmmm

52449

[aboo]

8th fastest. I'll take that/yes That Nova was quick & it must have been a 1/4 of the weight of our cars with it being a totally stripped out race car. God knows how the Rover got that time? Looked like a shed but don't know what he had done to the engine.

Only 4 hundredths slower than the Noble:)

[Wodjno]

Cracking times there Andy.. Think there good enough to see.an imminent influx of New Leggy owners :D

Wodj

Sent using the Force!

[aboo]

We did have a laugh when we were standing watching cars worth 10/20 times more than we paid for our cars not beating our times./lol

Bang for buck I don't think there are many cars out there that can beat a VR4.

Well said, glad you happy with your times but for me (novice) is just a time, do you know some web where I could compare your time to other cars??

[aboo]

My 1st run of the day on Sunday. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtAfhYYE52k

And my 2nd,3rd runs of the day. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lU4uk_kQsao

The 3rd run was the fastest of the day ;)

[Longbow77]

Well done, quicker than both M3s..... No. 26 - the Starlet Glanza V was doing well to get a terminal of 103mph though!!

[VR457]

The winner is VR457 with the closest time of 13.65:)
