whats the best 60 footer you guys have pulled?

and how do you launch?

 

2.22

I launch spinning my tires

 

1.78

5000 rpm on two stage rev limiter, pedal to the floor
dump clutch, hit 150 shot of nitrous

 

2.0 on street tires.

 

1.95 on little street tires

 

1.96 on F1's
2.05 on Nittos.

I need to work on the DR launch. Only done it at the track once and the pad was real slippery. Should like to get 1.8. I think Mission has a history of not-so-good launching. ??? Have to test this.

 

2.094 on 285 35 18 sumitomos last year

Thats my best 60 and I never finished the run , was a 16.770 @ 68.3 mph

Mostly 2.4 - 2.6 . . . . all hail the banzai launch .

 

Not exactly true. I have BFG drag radials on my 81 and my worst 60' is 1.88 with my best being 1.79, thats with only a 3000 converter . I don't know much about the Nittos but i'll bet the BFG would hook you better. The nittos are better for handling. With your converter I bet I could rip a low 1.7 as the bfgs do not slip. The only reason I can't do better is that my converter is too small and I have no power.

 

1.7 on the dr's
1.8 on the street tires

On the street tires I feather it out of the hole.

On the dr's I load the TC to about 2500 and punch it

 

Well, guys with my convertor and nittos often consider a 1.8 bad, and regularly turn 1.7s (or slightly lower). I should hope to do 1.8s. But like I said, I haven't hit MRP on a good day yet. SO maybe I should shut up and stop complaining!

 

My best was a 1.65 on E.T. Streets and 1.67 on BFG Drs

the 1.65 was actually a spinning run

Oh yeah 1.78 was best on Good Year GS-Cs


BTW all runs made with Yank TP3800 and 3.73s

 

1.992 on street tires taking off from an Idol.
it was also my best ET to date with a 14.669 @ 93mph in a ALMOST stock car.

 

I"ve yet to cut a sub 2 second 60'... 2.08 or something was my best... But that was on DR's

I know when I finally get my car in racing shape again (or able to afford to fix it if it breaks ) I won't be able to launch for the life of me tho... last time at the track was in '01 in calgary

 

In the Z a 1.98 on...... 225/60-16's, the black stang years ago was 1.75 @ 4000rpm

 

My best is a 1.31 on ET Streets,tripping the 60ft beam's w the back tires.
