RWYB 1/4 mile times

[craig8585]

Has anyone on here taken their cars to a RWYB day? If so what times did you get??

I went to Shakespeare County Raceway for a bit of fun today and posted a standing 1/4 time of 13.1 with a terminal speed of 110mph. Was a bit disappointed as I wanted to get into the 12's really but the grip off the line wasn't great. Missed 2nd gear on a couple of runs though which was a bit annoying too!

I thought low 13's are pretty good if you're still on stock tubby mate (well almost stock tubby lol)


My runs were crap but they are nearly 12 months ago when it was wet so 1st/2nd gear grip... forget it :wack: Best I ever did at Pod was around low 14's but that was completely stock S15 apart from filter and catback exhaust *runs away* lol


What were your reaction times?? I think I was getting down to 0.6/0.7 sec... they say anything below 0.4 or summat and it's kinda 'predicting' the green light haha!!!

A couple of the SXOC boys have got low 13's on 300ish bhp so I was hoping to get into the 12's. I reckon with a bit more grip at the start it could have definatly been done. Was only running 1.1 bar on that run too.

Best reaction was 0.55 seconds but I was messing around with the launch control on a couple of them after doing a 'tyre clean' so they were huge! I found launching around 3500rpm was best with the LC but there was a bit of axle tramp which I guess is due to having stock bushes and only locking collars. Not sure if its worth shifting into 5th towards the end either as I cross the line around 6800rpm in 4th. Good bit of fun though - you should come too next time James
