Default 1/4 mile questions?

How many MPH are you going when you hit redline in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd??

Basically I was wondering weather it's possible to complete the 1/4 mile in 3rd or do we need to shift to 4th. I saw the launching techniques, and gettin' pretty good at that, so I'm probably going to my first real run this weekend, and just getting some advice.
Thanks!!

I guess it depends how fast you are . 3rd gear redlines at about 90-92 so if you're running decent 1/4 mile I would think you'd need to shift into 4th.

I agree with Strike, you'll need 4th.
