Hey guys,
I know there is a quarter mile thread but I was wondering if there was a place to post up 1/8th miles or 60fts? We dont have much access to 1/4 mile tracks in Socal. Irwindale is the closest with its 1/8th mile.
We put the drift car on slicks and took it out a few weeks ago and got a pretty good time but i got no where to post it...

the car is currently stripped down to the frame going for its final weight reduction. There was nothing left on the car already, but Kevin has already found a couple more lbs in the car, and we got a few new goodies coming for the car for weight savings. Not to mention the new built motor going in in a month or two!

nice, i was tryin to get some other people to post some good 1/8th mile times to compare too... (since it is on every 1/4 mile timeslip)... where did you run 1/4 mile at in LA?
we are trying to get the car back together in time to go to the drag strip this weekend. 1/4 mile this time!

Finally got a 1/4 mile time... not as good as we wanted... we were at the track for 10 hours and only got ONE RUN!!! So we figured we would just start where we left off with the 1/8 mile setup that is posted above. Here is the timeslip from today...
11.954 @ 110.97 mph
11.954 @ 110.97 mph

well we only got one shot, so we started where we left off at irwindale setup to try and get a full 1/4 time. but the tires spun a lil in first. it was cold out too.
and no we were not using NOS on that pass.

If you can, next time out at the track, get the runs on video(with sound). Love to see that thing launch.....
