3/16 11.008 13.706
1/4 13.222 16.340
1/4 104.24mph 80.08mph

I think my 14.28 is acheivable again but must have been beginners luck first time! Got the R/T sorted after 6 runs.
Best 60ft 2.464 which is OK considering the reaction time. Top speed 91.17mph ok too.

Norris Designs EVO won the days racing, best of something like 10.8 @ 131mph

According to theory (best case [url="http://www.musclecarclub.com/library/race/quarter-mile-conversion.shtml"]http://www.musclecarclub.com/library/race/...onversion.shtml[/url]) - add 10% to HP as they suggest. Weight is approx 3200lb for car + me, from my 270 - 280hp I should be getting somewhere bteen 13.0 and 14.0. Hmm, I'm not too good at this 1/4 mile stuff! (first time of 14.28 is not bad though!). Looking forward to practice and getting in the 13's.!!

Dark,

I think I know why you're not going as fast as you'd like: you have too many modifications with the initials "TDi" in them. Now we all know that anything with the initials TDi is noisy, dirty and slow. :P

Good luck next time.

Peter
