Re: new world record 60'

True, but if I cut a 1.2 short time and you cut a 2.1 short time, chances are you'll be watching taillights for the rest of the race.

<--Still holds the record for fastest black 1995 Trans Am w/ 26" ET Streets, Moser 12-bolt, 3.73 gears, 4L60E, stock motor, Procharger and a tear in the driver's seat.

Re: new world record 60'

true thasts kinda obvious,but the point was what good is a record for 60 ft mark if you dont get there first?and the race is 1320 feet,not 60 ft,so who cares who gets to 60 feet first........we can what if thids all day..say i cut a 1.2,then pop the no2 and poof...wheel spin and the guy who cut a 1.5 60 goes right by me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!........just enjoy the sport guys,,,go out have a good time enjoy the competition..remember theres always someone faster than you so dont try to be the fastest cause its impossible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: new world record 60'

Saw a 03 cobra pull a 1.15 we was working on a buds car heard something massive launch then it came rolling by like it broke. The anouncer then went holy ****, it turned a 1.15 60 ft. The reason it rolled by cause the guy quit. We went and talked to him and he got out of the car shaking. Said it scared the living **** out of him. It was full trim to.

How long have you been racing? If at all? Here's a clue: If you reduce your 60' by 1/10th second you will typically reduce your 1/4 mile ET by a similar amount. Make sense now???

Re: new world record 60'

Regardless, like others have said, that's a wicked 60' time. I'd love to sit in the passenger seat on a run like that.

Re: new world record 60'

I kinda agree about SOME of records , but still it't not that serious. LOL

I get tired of SOME of the records and LIST , especially on the other board , and it does seem like people are making tooo many list just to have one, such as FASTEST CAM ONLY, SIX SPEED ,BLACK LT1 ,TRANS AM, WITH A PERSON UNDER 6feet 5 inches driving WITH DRAG RADIALS. LOL. But again it not that serious. I have never really heard much menotioned as far as 60 foot records ...... but hey. Too each his own.

Anyways, on another note nice sixty if it is indeed legitimate.

Probably you I would imagine. The "reverse" thing (aka, backward) is what gave the answer away

In all seriousness, there is a competition of driving backwards. So it isn't as silly as your implication

Re: new world record 60'

How much gas was flowing off of the line with this 60'.
