1/4 mile time??

'89GTStang · 10-06-2002, 03:25 PM

A local strip just opened up this summer and I took my stang out there for the first time last night and embarassed myself a few times. The track is only a 1000' track and those are the only times I got. Now I can't find anywhere to convert 1000' to 1/4 mile times. I would like to know how my car really runs in the 1/4 mile b/c 1000' times are new to me. Anybody able to give me a rough 1/4 mile time? My best run was a 11.754 @ 86.56 mph. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.

well this might help you I got a 11.640 in the 1,000 and that was a 13.853 so you are about a 13.9-13.8 range

Just out of curiousity .... why on earth would someone spend all the time and money it takes to build a dragstrip, then stop 320 feet short of making it a regulation strip ????

you know how much it cost for that added 320 it is more like 500 more feet you would need more slow down room and I have looked in to that... I thought about making My drive way in to a 330 and I well Dont have the $$$$ hehe to do that even.

Any idea on mph? never got a good start and for some reason missed a shift on every run. Need to readjust the clutch cable. The cable is still braking in. So the mph may be a better way of judging since my driving skills aren't quite up to par. Sorry about being so picky. Thanks.

there are 2 strips around here one an hour and the other 1 1/2 hrs. they are both 1000' tracks.
