  • Rich out does himself this time!

    Oh no....The indoor part is kinda cool, especially in the winter but, I'm not a fan of 60' ft racing.

    I heard about this...I'd try it, the launch is my favorite part anyway.

      Not a big fan of the guy since I participated in one of his circuses ..... but I'd be willing to give it a try. I'm w/Joe ... it's all about the leave.

        Well if I had a car that left like yours I might feel the same way.

          what is a fast 60 foot?

          I see 1 point something all the time, a long babbled conversation follows.

          8000 rpm and a 4lo gear set has a common sense outcome to go further...but dead later on the trail.

            Top Fuel cars can go .850, our car goes .920-.930, some a/fuel cars have been .880's, blown alcohol TAD's go in the .880's all the time. I've seen some Pro Mods go .880's

              that is incredible.

              somthing lke that could come out of an old high compression truck in 4 lo....and die.

              I was playing with subru in the snow, did not know the four low, power. I just knew it as tiny engine, self balanced.

              in a public parking lit, I had coffee on the dash, still steaming. So burped it as fast as it would go thinking I would slid around. No. the coffee cup disappeared and when I found it...the fluid was gone. Could not even find where the fluid went. getting out of that hole into a top speed must be phenomenal.

              keep a stiff neck going for 60 foot..that is something I figured on my own.

                Funny , I pitched the 60 ft races to a bunch of " big time " car shows, as a means of real excitement compared to " burnout contests". They all shot it down, said it wouldn't work.
                I never thought of indoor , and I think the "armdrop" is just a way to keep himself the center of attention .
                Funny what you can do with money.

                  My Mustang is usually around 1.40 to 1.42 depending on conditions (Air & Track).

                  It's funny, some of my non-automotive co-worker types ask me once in awhile "how fast is your car 0 to 60"? I reply back, do you mean feet?...That is generally followed by confused stares. I have never tried to figure out mph to the 60' or a time for 0 to 60 mph as math is not my strong suit.

                    I'd pay money to attend one of these deals, just for the freakish nature of the event.

                    How do you prep polished concrete?

                            is it like an over all drag race, say you are at 47mph at 60 foot and 1.4

                            what does a crazy ratio like this at 27mph do?
                            I am curious to leap with the spec clutch (I'll sit back this time)

                            6.59 feet per tire revolution.

                            needs ten to 60.

                              I would just like to do a wheelstand inside the same arena that I've watched the 76'ers and Iron Maiden.

                              Thanks! Is there an online calculator or do you know a formula?
