Default New best tonight at Atco Raceway

A little more seat time, slightly better air and some more tuning helped me get into the 13.0's tonight. Sooo close to 12.99 with bolt ons in my Ap1. I swear, if I only had one more pass lol.. I believe I could get down into the 12.75 range by the end of November as a bolt on car. I'm no longer slower than my 1997 Saturn Sc2 ( it's best was 13.22 @ 102mph 2 years ago)

mods listed in video.

I'm not too worried about my R/T since I'm just trying to figure out the best launch and ET the car. One less thing to worry about lol.

Just in case some people are new to drag racing, your R/T (reaction time) has no effect on your ET (elapsed time). The only time it matters is when you are running somebody heads up, or bracket racing. The timer does not start until the car moves :thumbsup:

Sooooo using your theory, if I cut a .000 light, I'd run a 11.01 @ 107mph....

I really hope you are kidding. If not, then give this a quick read. Straight from the NHRA. It's even alphabetized. Look up elapsed time and reaction time. http://www.nhra.com/nhra-101/nhra-glossary

You're welcome. Glad I could educate you.



I usually make 100 passes/year at the track, plus numerous visits to get my customer's tunes dialed in. I have plenty of experience at the drag strip.

I think he didn't read the 2nd part of your post. He's thinking of heads up racing....

You sir know how to drag the shit out of your car. 13 flat on a fbo s2000 with stock gears is not an easy feat. If you break 12s thats gotta be a record of some type. Shit, 13flat must be a record of some kind. Good job man
