Walt says, "I won the E/T Final with a hole shot. 1/16 mile drag strip with a 5.000 second index." Way to go, Nitro!

What was the track length? 1/8. That isn't much speed for 5 second ET. But it has been 15 years since I ran at the strip.

Swampy, here's what Walt posted:

"I won the E/T Final with a hole shot. 1/16 mile drag strip with a 5.000 second index."

PS - I was impressed by the reaction time . . . pretty good for a 'mature' gentleman!!!

AW, 1/16 makes sense.

I built a junior dragster (330 Outlaw) that would run in the 4.30's with 60 footers at 1.33 seconds. those were 330 runs, 1/16 mile. Speeds were approaching 80 MPH. It was an outlaw class as the NHRA/IHRA had speed limits. This was with a 13 year old driving. RPM just be glad you didn't get mixed up in the Heads up outlaw class.

[Bill Cleveland]

Yeah, but could you drive the dragster down to the ice cream shop???

[Swampdog]

You are right. You sure couldn't takes your best girl with you either.
