Default New Quarter Mile times

06/13/03 The 1/4 mile time was taken at Las Vegas Speedway Strip, at 2000ft elevation, and 88 degree temperature, half a tank of gas. 15.885 at 88.02mph, which corrects to 15.51 at 90.12mph.

06/27/03 Ran again with headers installed. It was 96 degrees outside, half a tank, best run is 15.677 at 88.07mph. Elevation correction is 15.30 and 90.19mph. Not bad at all considering that I had crappy traction, this is running faster than my stock 95 mustang GT!

Had to test it again since the header install. Not a bad gain for JBA shorties. I thought about staying and running again at 2:00am with colder temps, but was tired about midnight. Ran 3 consistant runs, and one 16.1 quarter when I spinned the tires really bad.

Not some bad runs considering that I run it just right off the street with no preperations.

How do you correct your time? My 14.7 was on a 92 degree day with 85% humidity. Would like to know what I could have run In good conditions.
