Whats A Fast Half Track Time And Mph?

[ido09s]

Was wondering what sort of times and mph most quick cars were running to the half track down the quarter. By quick i mean 10 sec cars using ET Streets or BFG's with pump fuel. Not fussed about slick tyred cars or cars running NOS.

The best 660 i have run is a 7.280 at 95.77mph.... but was wondering what half track i need to see to be confident the car will run mid to low 10's.

I basically want to run some half track passes and be sure the car will run a mid to low 10 before i get booted for not having the appropriate safety gear

1/8 mile ET = (1/4 mile ET *.655) - 0.22

That's not such a terrible rule of thumb except I'd prob make it - 0.12 as street tyres tend to get out of the hole slower and are therefore slower to half track.

Great formula though.

Fair point, Adrian. Good find, Chris.

I would aim for 6.8@102MPH as a minimum, Brad.

I was thinking 6.80 as well @ approx 100mph.

IDO11s,

In a late model IRS car I'd say you'd be pulling 110 MPH at half track to run a low ten second pass. 660' time would be 6.6-6.7s?

6.5 @ 110 is on the money for a low ten

for a high ten see Adrians previous post.

I have a better idea....let Andrea have a go....i think she deserves a try before the car gets banned.

thanks for all the replies guys. I was hoping i wasnt to far off the money but it appears i am still a fair way from what i need to be. Hopefully the new found power will help but i guess only time will tell. Bring on Friday!!!

Paul, i tried talking Andrea into racing it herself but she isnt worried about having a steer.... for some reason all she is worried about is the car going fast and it sadens me to think she hasnt even been able to enjoy it herself. But, its her choice and i guess i just have to accept it. I just hope i can do all the work we have put into the car justice this Friday and run a decent time with it. It will make both of us very happy if i can

Ive seen first hand the upgrades you have done since last time at the track, id say the 10's in the bag!

That tiny little single HKS 2510 looks lonely though. Not sure what you're trying to achieve there mate!?!?!
