1/4 mile time goals for 2009... What do you think?

I want to see what people are thinking we will see for a 1/4 mi. time in 2009... I think we will see 11.90-.95.... Maybe me, maybe YT, or both for that matter






P.S. Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't think 11's are out of the question. It will take some work, but with what we have available now... It is possible if someone can afford to take it there.

I also see Kirill and OT breaking some new ground too with the builds OT has comming up. Should be a great year pending any more fuel or economic crashes

Re: 1/4 mile time goals for 2009... What do you think?

Just wanted to add that this poll is about the fastest time period... Not for a street legal, 4eat or for a non street legal, 5 mt, yadda, yadda, yadda... No whiners about who ran what, just simply the fastest 1/4 period...

If that's the case I'll stuff a nice ZR1 motor into our racer and you'll eat dust.

I'm with YT. I don't see any reason why 11s won't be see in 2009. 10s are a possibility, but at a severe loss of "comfort"

I wouldn't say that. i just barely touched 12's with the silver car. To get it firmly planted in the mid-high 12's is the goal for that car.

I would love to see someone shatter it and hit 11's this year though

Re: 1/4 mile time goals for 2009... What do you think?

I think with YT's turbo project this is certainly obtainable... Is that still going on? I haven't been around much, not sure what you have planned out Tom...

It has been held by my Stage 3 not selling.... SO until that goes... who knows when it will get done... I may have something else brewing in the near future but it would be a totally different car
