Default RE: Real Life Quarter Mile Times....

I meant to say pull foward after pre stage till Stage light flicher's and then very easy into the stage light till it stay's on . Just measured on my 20 inch tire's on my R/t . That would give you about 24 inch's to 25 inch's of roll before breaking the stage beam . And starting the timer . but if you leave too quick you hit the Red light beam . That is a good time if you got down to 13.40 . in 1/4 mile . It's been a long time since I drove anything fast. So the R/T feel's good. A friend who ran an NHRA 427 AA Stock 67 Camero . Said the R/T feel's like my old Buick on the Street. The Buick would run 8.50 through the muffer's on Street tires at the track in the 1/8th mile. And was spinning hard in 2nd gear with the turbo 400 . I had rigged the govnor spring to shift in auto at 5800 rpm . Better than shift by hand.
