Default Good 60ft time for big power FWD cars?

Whats a good 60ft time on the 1/4 mile then? On sunday I was running mainly high 2.4's, low 2.5's, with the odd fluked 2.3. Grip was a total nightmare!

At TOTB I was doing mainly 2.2's & 2.3's with a best of 2.235. Dunno how these will relate with different timing gear etc.

Hi Dan, no idea mate, as far as I can remember we didn't 60ft times last year but I could be wrong.

Thanks - Sunny.

124mph is an absolutely awesome terminal speed, especially for a FWD car!

Gav that's a bloody good time mate, what did Paul R's car do when he did his 12.9 at TOTBII anyone?

Dunno what Paul R's 60 Ft time was but at TOTB3 when I did the 12.78 @ 112 it was 2.300

Just in case you dont know I am the new owner of H702 DEG, and also a another Paul R.

I managed a 2.1 60ft at this years TOTB, resulting in a 12.91s 1/4.

Anything around 2.0 / 2.1 is some going in a fwd car.

Although I believe Andy Nicholls managed a 1.875 60ft in the maestro to set a pb for him (11.9 s 1/4) !!!!

Sunny.......nice to have a chat while we watched the totb shootouts.
I was gutted not to be part of them though!

Cheers,

Andy R
