1/4 mile breakdown
This is from a thread from ls1tech.
Thought this might interest some readers. Everyone knows how important the short time is in racing. Here's another way to look at it to help emphasize that. Below is a breakdown of the percentage of time spent per section of the 1/4 mile.
Timeslip -
60 - 1.341
330 - 3.969
660 - 6.187
1000 - 8.111
1320 - 9.780
Separate the track into the 4 approximately equal timed sections of 330, 660, 1000 and 1320 to establish the percentage of time spent in each section. Here's what the timeslip above equates to in percentages of time spent in each section of the track.
0 - 330 = 40.58%
330 - 660 = 22.68%
660 - 1000 = 19.67%
1000 - 1320 = 17.07%
This helps to confirm how important it is about getting as much power to the ground as possible in the start of the run. Nothing new or groundbreaking, just another way to look at drag racing.
