1/8 mile track at 6600 get elevation

**SgtMarshal** · 09-18-2014

I'm going to the track for the first time ever. The track is the highest elevation track in the U.S. at 6600 feet above sea level. So far I'm only intercooled and on a 3.2 pulley. What would you guys estimate my time to be?

**machinegunsquid** · 09-18-2014

Something slow.

Honestly have no idea what good times are for 1/8 mile as all they run around me is 1/4. Obviously the elevation will make a decent difference.

I did a little research and I'm hoping for a 10 sec 1/8 mile

Good luck, let us know.

**SgtMarshal** · 09-20-2014

My best run was a 10.144 and my best reaction time was .631

RT has no effect on ET. The only important numbers are 60', ET, and trap speed.

**SgtMarshal** · 09-20-2014

That shows how nubish I am at the track. Best 60 foot was 2.403, best trap speed was 70.7

It really doesn't. People can be sleeping at the line and still lay down a badass ET. The 60' shows the noobishness.

What's a good 60 foot

**TwinV6GTP** · 09-20-2014

It's all in the 60 foot. Regardless of elevation you should be able to pull off a 2.0 60 foot on a prepped track with enough practice on half decent tires.

My GF's bone stock 04 GTP with the exception with me improving shift points and making the timing curve more conservative, to remove the incredible knock on the stock tune.
ran 14.61 @ 93 mph with 2.0 60 foot. in the 1/8 mile that was a 9.37 @ 73 mph.

Your car would have made something like a 15.5 @ 90 mph according to your 1/8 mile data. A better 60 foot and I bet you could run high 14s in the 1/4 mile and ~ 9.6 -9.7 in the 1/8

I will have to keep practicing. The track I went to is closed until next year, so if I go again I will have to drive a couple hours

My NA 3800 Camaro ran 10.0 in the 1/8th at a 5200ft track, with a 2.1 60' on horrible tires.

**stealthee** · 09-20-2014

10.0 1/8 is a high 15 in the 1/4.

Its not clear cut you have to factor the 60 foot and mph.

True, but that is the general conversion based on no other information.

**TwinV6GTP** · 09-20-2014

Good 60 foot means the 1/8 mile to 1/4 mile conversion should be lower than a high 60 foot run of the same 1/8 et.

This guy has a really bad start so his 1/8 mile cant be converted with the common formula as with most fwd cars

A good 60' would have improved his 1/8 which would then change the conversion for the 1/4.

**TwinV6GTP** · 09-20-2014

9.0 1/8
With 2.4 60 foot
Means around 15.5 et

9.0 1/8 with 2.0 60 foot means 15.8-15.9

**stealthee** · 09-20-2014

Not only are your numbers off but they are irrelevant and have nothing to do with what I said. He ran 10.144 with a 2.4 60'. On that run he is going to run a 15.7-15.9 in the 1/4. If he had a 2.0 60' on that run his 1/8 improves to 9.6 which is about a 14.9...
