Thanks. The rules are as follows. Left lane sets the pace his job is to maintain 60 mph +/- 5mph. The right lane has to stay within a half car length for it to be a clean race. Left lane is the one you want to be in. Quickly get to 60 or slowly it is your choice. It isn't nearly as easy as everyone thinks. 1500ft race distance. Sport class speeds where 160/165 mph and the unlimited class speeds where upper 190's

That car looks like it's doing 200 standing still, and damn fine at the same time

You car looks amazing-just perfect!!! Great, great work.
Really? 160trap=1000ish whp-I'd say so with a standing 1/4 mile, but a 1500ft roll race with a 60mph start speed??

One thing to take into consideration with my trap speed is A. I was spinning third and B. I ran out of gear and coasted through the traps on every run. Had I got a clean run in it would have been close to 170 I'm sure. Also I'm merely assuming my car makes 1K based on fuel consumption and IDC %

Here is one of my high power vbox runs, on the street, not on a prepped surface. That is from well under 1k in the beginning to probably over it a bit on top.
True 1kwhp will be over 160 easy in 1500ft from a dig, let alone a roll

I was unimpressed with my speeds and thought I'd do 170 no problem. I literally had one clean mechanical run all weekend so there really is no telling.. That 160mph run was a joke. If you look at 1320's video it was the one against the black supra. You can see me pull out way in front and then basically coast the big end. I have an idea of what my car makes and I know it's close to 1K. I will say this I was there watching 12/1400HP cars making 165mph passes for 2 days granted they where 3700lbs. I'm not quite sure how the rolling start compares to QTR mile speeds but it was what it was. My car trapped 142mph at 15lbs and 93 with the worlds worst driving.
BTW I was able to get my 25lbs ramp rate down to 1.3 seconds on those shitty street tires.

I'm sure if you quit dorkn around with that whimpy rear and put an 8.8 with some 3.08's you'd hit 170+ easy... I'll trade you 280's anytime! This 4 link 8.8 is just begging to hurt some lambo's feelings.

Wasn't doubting your power output. Just commenting on the 3000lb 1000WHP cars trapping 160 this type of event. 60' time effects the ET a massive amount. Starting at 60mph is a huge advantage. I'm sure alot of ******* claim 1000+whp and make 600. Or spin half the run. I hear 1000hp tossed around alot in hipster street racing scene these days.
