Not meant to be an arguement. But you do have some of the best tracks in the world in your neck of the woods. Be it great track prep or good air. And this would explain why half of the times that are under 13sec come from a 3 state area, PA, MD and NJ. That in no way takes away anyone drivng ability.

If anything I'm jelous that you guys have such good tracks.

What about Texas, Florida, and Louisiana? There are 1/4 mile strips in those states which are at or near sea level, and the residents of those areas can run nearly year round, ie in the fall and very early spring when the ambient temperatures are in the high 40s to low 50s and the humidity is down around 20-25%

How are people who quarter mile race doing in those states?

LOL, nearly all the other good times are from those states. Wish I had the money and the permits. Think a track in Death Valley would work. Of course only in the night time.

LOL, it's certainly not prep.

Best 60 I can seem to find on runflats has been a 1.88. But that's all TM killing me.

My damn truck 60'd better.
