This is the last run I made :



Reaction time 0.049

60ft 1.902

100 meter 5.066

150 meter 6.453 138.24 km/hr (86.4mph)

RT + ET 6.502

_____________________________

100 meter - 150 meter 1.387



Power FC recorded peak hold at :



1.31 kgcm boost (19.25psi)

28 knock

9875 rpm

92% on the injectors (currently running 2 x 1680 & 2 x 550cc injectors at 50psi stagnant fuel pressure and dual walboro pumps at 11-11.5 a/f ratio)



This was a bracket race and I was entered in the 6.5-7 second class and trying to not break out like I did at the last race and this is basically in a big parking lot and not a prepped track, but hell it's the only legal racing we got on this island other than that it's all illegal street racing.



My car is also full interior and probably around stock weight with 100lbs of sandbags in the rear to help with traction and about 100lbs of crap removed from the engine compartment.. Does anyone have a way of figuring out what the aprox. 1/4 time would be? How about a hp calculator that is accurate for rotary engines???



Thanks...

ummm is 150M = 1/8 mile ???



if so you can compare to my best run



rt .765

60" 1.773

330 5.043

1/8 7.793

MPH 91.67

1000 10.070

1/4 12.011

MPH 116.65

Ummm... why don't you come over here and make us a quarter mile track? Space isn't a problem but greedy backwoods politicians are!!



First Van gets beat by a Hunda with a snail and then he gets beat by a Miata with a snail that always loses to the Hunda...bwahahahahaha

Legislation and politics play an important roll in keeping the quarter mile track away .... we can't make something happen that the money holders don't want.



...WAIT until my engine goes in...

It has nothing to do with the size! It's revenue!! They want a cut of the action! Supposedly Autobacs will be building a multipurpose Medium Circuit/drag track within the next three years. In order to get pass zoning ordinances, sound ordinances and other related BS politicians have to be used. The parking lot that is used for the 0-150m (3/4 of 1/8mile) stints is located on private property and the adjacent land owners will not sell/lease their property so that the track can be extended pass the 150m mark. The straigth is actually about 300m~330m if you count the burnout box and stopping area. In order to have a a 0-400m drag track 750~850m of straight away is needed to keep things safe.
