I went to an 1/8th mile track today. This was my first drag strip trip with the GT. It was a pretty back-woods operation from what I'm used to, but the people were good and there were only about 20 cars that were racing. There were some very stereotypical redneck people though, lol, lots of trucks and busted-up camaros racing. Here are the stats from my best run:

Remember this is 1/8th mile. Help me figure out if these are good times or not. I put them into a 1/8th mile to 1/4 mile calculator and they all said my 1/4 E/T should be 12.3~ which I know isn't correct.

R/T .346
60' 2.176
E/T 7.871
miles per hour 75.80

All the runs were without doing a burnout, wasn't enough room for me to feel comfortable to do one (you shoulda saw this place). Rear psi was ~35.5. I had traction problems but since I was on my 18" with lo-pros I wasn't really trying to get great hook-up.
