i'm just wondering, for those of you who have been to QCR, what your times are compared to other tracks? Is QCR really as slow as everyone tells me?

I was there for the NMCA race last year. The track is slow. If you stand on the starting line you'll notice that the track is UPHILL!

Yeah, it's a mini mount everest. I'm just trying to figure out how much slower it is than any other track. How did your car run?

both these runs were made the same week, same weather conditions and near identical 60ft times

QCR - 12.904 @ 106.64mph - 1.88 60ft
D42 - 12.616 @ 110.33mph - 1.86 60ft

If you want know what your car would have run on a flat track look at your 1/8 mile times and use the formula to calculate 1/4 mile times. QCR doesn't start to go uphill until after ther 1/8 mile.

Is it 1/8 e.t. * 1.55 ?

Multiplying 1.55 for ET and 1.29 for mph is pretty close for our cars.

My 12.90 @ 106 run would have been 12.75 @ 109mph which is what I would usually ran at D42 last year.

Keep in mind that that formula only works if you have good traction. My current best is 12.531 @ 115.44mph spinning my tires upto the 330' mark. If you go by my 1/8 mile time on that run I should have only run 12.728 @ 115.22mph

Hey buddy, the e.t. is kinda sketchy b/c of lack of traction, but if your mph formula is no typo. I'm looking at a 108mph trapspeed at a flat track.
