>> I must be missing something. How on earth did you come up with that number? I'd be guessing closer to 112 MPH. Was this an 1/8th mile track?

Paul - it was a 1/4 mile. I thought it *felt* like a 100 mph pass but I got video on the hubby doing a 103 (our best documented mph) and there is a noticeable shimmy to the car that we couldnt see in vid on my pass. So I'm guessing I was more like low 90's. I'm anxious to see if the firebird does any better since we've built in a better rollbar and frame support.


>I posted the formula I used, and don't forget that this is the speed over the entire distance, not top end. Anyway, 12.380 for 1/4 mile equals 49.52 for an entire mile. There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so 3600 / 49.52 equals MPH.
