i'm going to bristol this thursday to run the 1/4 mile for the first time and am not sure what to expect as far as times go.
i've ran a 8.74 @ 82.87mph (2.183 60 ft, 5.804 330 ft) on a poorly prepped track (running sideways for 100+ feet on the 1-2 upshift) in 80-85 heat at around 1000 ft elevation. it should be much cooler (high 50s to low 60s), but the elevation should be about the same. oh, and just like the 1/8th, the car will be running street tires.
