But Harry should talk to a competent sound engineer about where he mounts his microphone. He's got it on his left lapel, and everythime he turns his head to his left, the sound of his voice changes.

Got me into the shoot out but I jumped the light in the finals. I thought all drag racing had dropped back to the 1/8 mile. My 300hp V-8 "back in the day" was a contender on the street. Probably mid-14s/ 90-ish on the quarter mile. What was your trap time @fotoguzzi? Link to comment

The two top fuel classes have switched to 1,000 feet, but all the other 1/4 mile classes still run a 1/4 mile. There are a number of 1/8 mile tracks out there, but around me it is still 1/4 mile is the standard. 0.035 is a nice reaction time. Good job @fotoguzzi 1 Link to comment

Two seats only and low. My neighbor across the street has a similar set up with his M240 BMW. it's got that 8 speed auto that's super quick. As a stick shift guy, I have to admit it's a slick set up. it doesn't have the wild ride like my 'vette, its controlled and gets the power to pavement.
