What kind of time am i getting?

I havnt ever been to the drag strip. The closest ones are in pueblo and denver, which are a couple three hours away. Some of my friends and i measured off an exact quarter mile. Although i know its not anywhere close to matching any kind of measurement at the track, the one thing i know i am close on is the MPH. EVERY time i do it it is exactly 100 MPH, never really slower or faster, no matter how good my launch gets. My question is, what time are these cars running when they get 100?

Factors are involved; weight,atmosphere,track,driver... Should be around mid to low 13's......

Mid 13's would be my best guess also. Don't get discouraged since that's also at altitude which isn't that bad. At a much lower altitude track, the car "might" dip into the 12's.
