Default First ever 1/4 mile times

Well today was my first 1/4 mile outing ever at Montgomery Al (Super Chevy Show). I would like to thank everyone for not coming out as I was able to make more runs. I didn't have to wait in line at all. Here are the run downs for the 1 of 2 street cars that made it(mine).

1. 60' 2.323
1/8 9.264 @ 83.46
1/4 13.911 @ 107.02

2. 60' 2.054
1/8 8.486 @ 84.96
1/4 13.066 @ 108.40

3. 60' 2.006
1/8 8.403 @ 84.66
1/4 12.986 @ 108.36

4. 60' 2.022
1/8 8.402 @ 85.82
1/4 12.951 @ 108.91

5. 60' 2.002
1/8 8.405 @ 85.04
1/4 12.977 @ 108.65

6. 60' 1.943
1/8 8.300 @ 85.27
1/4 12.851 @ 109.10

7. 60' 1.942
1/8 8.290 @ 85.73
1/4 12.829 @ 109.26

Interesting seeing your times drop with each pass - get to learn it pretty quickly. You can also see how critical that 60-foot is.

Good times for basically lid, exhaust, pulley, and stock converter (MAF and thermo don't really do anything).

Best of luck to you with cam and converter when you get them.

Those are nice times with those mods. Also, those snow white beaches in Fort Walton Beach are beautiful. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

I usually go to the track at holt, but I have been having problems hooking there lately so I am going farther out of my way to a better prepped track. I think that next time I run the Z I am going to go to Hattiesburg, MS. I have heard guys hook there really well. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
