man i swear, we must be jynxed or something, last time we went the tree had been hit by lightning, so we raced with no times, this time we go, track is wet, but tree works, got to run 1 time and they shut it down b/c of rain , anyways, crappy time slip but here are the specs

car                    96 accord                01 civic
reaction             0.588                      0.849
60 ft                  3.691                      4.294
mph                   62.73                      0.00  don''t know why it didn''t show his speed?
time                   12.947                    13.743

1/8th mile track,     very very very slick conditions due to rain, we both just spun and spun as evidence of our 60ft times

60ft time is everything. so your slip really doesnt mean anything.  you should be in the mid to high 2s.  and idk what a good 1/8 mile track time is because all i do is 1/4

importedminds -> RE: well, went back to the drag strip tonight (7/11/2008 9:48:08 PM)

well the conversion chart i found would put me at around a 19 sec. 1/4  , no way i am that slow, i mean i had almost a 4 sec 60 ft. time, that right there shows i was spinning, i''ll upload the video,

live2rice -> RE: well, went back to the drag strip tonight (7/11/2008 9:53:17 PM)

yeah accord ex is rated for 16.9 and lx etc are slightly slower

importedminds -> RE: well, went back to the drag strip tonight (7/11/2008 9:57:24 PM)

definatly not 19-20 sec 1/4  no way, 17-17.2 or 17.3 yeah, but not 19 or 20, i am uploading video to youtube right now, i will link when it''s done, i spun all of first, had to let off to get traction back and then hit it, although the 01 civic ex spun worse, anyways, we''ll be going back next sunday hopefuly good weather and tree working for some real times, just want to guage what i got right now  so i have a base time, so when i add more i can see the difference

horrible run dude! (not your fault the track was wet anyways)... but thanx for the vid

importedminds -> RE: well, went back to the drag strip tonight (7/14/2008 4:27:27 PM)

yea, all we want is some good video for the club''s website, and to know our real times so we can judge the difference as we upgrade our cars. we have went twice and havn''t accomplished any goals yet haha, but we should be going again on sunday, so hopefully everything will go right

KevinAccord -> RE: well, went back to the drag strip tonight (7/16/2008 8:31:49 AM)
