Calculating potential ET?
How do I calculate my potential ET from my MPH?
First time at the track with this car My best was 13.423 @ 106.26. 60 ft was a shameful 2.206. I had some trouble hooking up my Falkens.
I was just wondering what the potential would be with a set of drag radials that I could actually hook up?
Thanks

personal averages are around 2.0 on good street tires ( g-force, pirelli rossos) but im guessing people with drag radials are much better at 1.7 ish? basically just minus the difference and you'll get a general idea. if youre having traction issues dr's may increase your mph but usually they decrease slightly.. if anything due to taller size etc.
