It is open to you! And its easy, no commitment, come if you can. $100 pay at the gate. 2 lanes, one for street tires one for DR's and slicks. Im guessing we will have about 50 cars or so. You will be able to get plenty of passes in.

Hope you can make it!

Hey Kyle,

For comparision sake, is there any way to measure 0-60 times just to see what they are? Our cars haven't favored well against the AWD competition in the magazines so I am curious as to what you are acheiving.

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

it shows me at 2.11 on DR's
and at 2.26 on stock tires.

no idea how reliable that calculator is.

Only way to really know is by data logging which I dont do.

My true estimate by some other calculations is about 2.6 on DR's and 2.8 on stock tires.

Wow, if that is accurate it dispels the myth that our cars can't get enough traction to get a good 0-60 time

I understand though that the magazines don't probably do burnouts prior to their 0-60 timing but at the dragstrip, with a driver of your caliber, the AWD competition would be hard pressed to best you!

I have had some great races with some Modded GTR's. Stock VS Stock the GTR's are no match for a well driven ZR1. The issue is the driving, It doesn't really take much skill to drive cars like the GTR fast in a straight line.

FWIW, that calculator has me at 2.36 seconds 0-60 on my 10.7@128mph pass.
My HPT log had me at 2.4 0-60. . . I'd say that's pretty damn close.

It's certainly possible. I had a great race against a fast Honda Civic when I made that pass. The vid is in my signature.

Your stock tire record vs. my pr would have been a great race as well.
