1/8 mile times and speeds

whats your 1/8th mile time and speeds. most people i know running low 7's usually run around 88 to 90. with like 1.60 60ft

 

I have never had the maverick on the track. The mustang went a 7.98 at 87mph with a 1.79 60ft.

 

7.22 94.76 1.57 has been my best so far

 

My 60 ft was 1.589, 1/8th was 6.973 @ 90.19 mph. That was on 3-13-09 in an ArmDrop Live event with Rich Christiansen and I even made it in the semi-finals. That's actually where my avatar pic came from. Haven't been back to the track since.

 

And I thought the drag bug bit you, guess not or you would be there more often, oh thats right you have been too busy collecting Stallions

 

well reason im asking is im trying to figure out what my car will run in the 1/8th if i get my stall redone and get my 60ft around 1.60. last time i ran 1/8th i ran 8.64 at 89 mph with 2.4 60ft. im thinkin mid 6

 

The last Mav I built ran 7.34 at 94mph with a 60 foot time of 1.62. I have no Idea what this one I am building now will run. I guess I am going to have to wait till next spring to find out ( I hope ).

 

I think some of it had to do with all the people coming up to look at the car and saying "I can't believe you wanna RACE this car!" I just told em I built it to have fun. That I do a lot of shows and cruise-ins but I mostly built it for Cruisin-The-Coast!!! Which as a matter of fact starts in TWO DAYS!!! Can't wait! Should be well over 5000 cars again this year. Takin a weeks vacation again.

 

what has been your best pass. To run around a 6.50-6.70 you will need to trap around 100-104mph. I don't see how rays car goes 6.90's at 90mph. It should trap around 95mph at least

 

I couldn't tell you. Other than I have the time slip to prove it. If you look in the timeslips database you'll see a timeslip posted with a 6.80 at 92 mph. There are a couple of them posted with times like that.

 

IDK I guess you are just taking full advantage of the power you have. On the 6.80 at 92 with a 1.60ft I think he is on a 600ft track.

 

I have only run the 1/4 with my Maverick, but I did see a couple of time slips from the guy I bought it from saying the Maverick ran 6.34 @ 114mph
in the 1/8.
If I look at my fastest time todate my 60' was 1.410, 330' was 1.890 and my 660 was a 6.16725 with a MPH of 109.96. This was the only sub 10sec time I have run and it was on a -0.09004 red light. The final 1/4 mile was
9.80172 @ 133.57......................if this is any help.
If you want to get into the mid 6's in the 1/8 you are going to have to pull some really serious HP numbers at the RW's...................... IMHO

 

high 7's is what id expect looking at the figures you have posted

 

JoeDirt is probably pretty close.

Joe, you sure have a beatiful Maverick, I really like the look!

 

thanks,its slowly getting where i want it to be
