Funny, but would say the same thing to the 1/4 mile guys who go well over 200 and sometimes a lot more, with less track?

THOSE RUNS ARE ON A PREPPED TRACKED . NOT A STREET COURSE . TRACTION JUST ISN'T THERE ON THE STREET TO ACCELERATE THAT HARD THE EARLY PART OF THE RUN.

I realize that at places like the Silver State, or the Texas Mile, the surfaces are just a smooth asphalt road or an old air strips and are not prepped the way a 1/4 mile track is. I didn't mean to infer that in these 1 mile events that 1/4 mile times should approach prepped drag track times. These 1 mile run events are kinda new and top speeds aren't known yet.

I have an 05 Ford GT that is being converted to twin turbos with an engine upgrade also. I hope to run it at some of these events. So, I was just wanting to talk about issues and ideas.
