what is the lowest MPH to run a high 10's quarter mile?
in a 3380 raceweight car....

with good traction the lowest mph i have seen to run high 11's is 115....

it's possible to run a high 10 at 119 to 121 depending on how well your car runs in the 1/8

 

I've ran an 11.0@104mph and a 10.5@117mph both on runs that were aborted due to a distributor problem.

I have seen 119-121 and 10.9 time slips on light cars with a lot of torque/gearing. Most all out drag cars can run high 10's at 119-121.

The majority of cars doing it that I see are trapping over 120.....

Setup is everything.

Looking at a timeslip from this past weekend, one of my competitors ran 10.27 at 130.51...

 

A good model for a 6spd car would be Tim Herrington. He is right at a 10.9 with 124-125mph. However, don't expect to make the power and just bang out 10s. I guarantee you he has a TON of time in his suspension tuning.

I never inched into the 10's. I jumped from around 11.2's right to 10.54 at 128 mph.
