: Have to say you're mighty fast, using time slips, since I usually run 11.15s at 120 mph, with 1.60s average 60ft times, you are going about they same as I am at the finish line, my 1000 ft time is very close .02 of a sec. with in each other. I have had 1.52s 60ft times and still run 11.13 at 121mph.

: : Being in my 60's can't remember things to well. Maybe some of you young guys can help. Have a 75 Maverick drag car, 302 etc. need to know what the 1/4 mile ET would figure when I am now running 9.22 on a 1000ft strip. If it matters, 60ft is 1.59. Thanks for the help
Thanks to all for the help, I guess I should be satisfied with what is running now, but all racers want to go faster. Maybe this winter I'll pull the old 302 out and try a 351. By the way, car is in the photo gallery if any one is interested. Thanks again Ricky.
