Default 60 ft question...

I guess it goes without saying that top fuel dragsters have the quickest 60 ft times... however... I was wondering how the rest of the classes compare in the race to 60 feet. Anybody have side by side information on the classes ? I was looking around NHRA.com but didn't find anything. Seems the Pro Stock guys are leaving pretty hard but have to much weight to overcome vs torque to stay with fuel class cars.

Going off memory

TF= mid .8s-.9s
Funny car= mid .8s-.9s
Pro stock= high .9s to 1.0s

After that you start the sportsman classes and stuff.
1.1-1.3s for dragsters

door cars usually high 1.2s to 1.4s

Depending on track and temps mine is usually 1.27-1.30s set up for brackets.

Set up for super comp, low 1.2s but I haven't run a NHRA event in quite a while.

DRC will sometimes show the incrementals from good runs

Look at the qualifing results on Nhra.com, they will sometimes show incrementals.
