122 MPH Trap
I went 11.02@122.x a number of years ago, on like a 1.50. Car needed more converter and was 3600 raceweight.
Pinkenstein has gone 11.02@121.5 on a 1.55, needs more converter too.

..... some old-time Stock and Super/Stock racers used to multiply their E.T. by their MPH, and called this number their 'hook-factor', to determine how-well their car was working:
they reasoned that a perfect H-F to be 1320 (oddly the number of feet in a 1/4-mile ) regardless of what E.T. the car is running, and realized that if the H-F was higher than 1320, they were leaving E.T. to be gained by not-utilizing their chassis, gearing, and traction to it's fullest, while a number below 1320 meant the car had run a slow-MPH in relation to the E.T., that the car was probably gear-bound (too-much rear gear ) and had run-outta RPM well-before the stripe (and quit accelerating, actually LOSING-time ).
Most streetable cars won't hook-factor that-low, simply because of gearing, traction and TQ-multiplication:
bracket-racers who deep-stage also will have higher H-fs because they give-up roll-out to achieve better R.T.s.
With a 122 MPH trap-speed, a maximum-effort car 'could'/ 'should' be capable of running very-low 10-eighties.
