pardon my ignorance, but back around post #5 there was weather this was 1/8 mile or 1/4. I assume its 1/4 mile, but since Im following this thread (wicked awesome car BTW) this is 1/4 mile right? You cant have a trap speed that high with that slow of a ET in the 1/8th....can you? Again, Im stupid, but the #5 post threw me off, and Im totally diggin the car!

It’s 1/4 mile.

Considering this is a FAST combo on repro bias ply tires, the 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile conversion for the 10.67 run lines up very closely(within about .01) with what would be a pretty well sorted out bracket car(1/8 mile was 6.793 on that pass).

You rarely see that out of a FAST combo.

Usually the 1/8 mile ET converts to a noticeably slower 1/4 mile ET than what the car actually runs.
Typically, the cars leave relatively soft, so the 1/8 mild times aren’t great, but they pull hard(the good running ones) on the back half.
