I'M WONDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY DRAG RACE 400EX'S AND WHAT TIMES THEY RUN IN 300FT.

WITH MINE I CAN RUN 4.6 ALL DAY LONG

I do....

Come on down to florida, by some street tires and bring 500 bucks to put on a race...lol.. Im only kidding but if you do? Im here.

4.6? Is that in the dirt? with paddles?

Mine does 8.8s in the 1/8th thats 660ft, half of that is 330ft and half my time would be 4.4 seconds and thats 30ft further in less time.

your logic is wrong. are you more likely to cover the first 330 feet faster or the last 330 feet..? you need to remember that you're not doing 70 mph at the start.

90% of a good 1/8th mile time is the reation time and the 60ft, my logic is not wrong....

If you are drag racing on a short track 330ft or 660ft, the first half of the track is where it matters most, especially on the 660ft.

Example = a car running 8-9 seconds in the 1/8th may run at 80mph, where I would do it in 8's and only hit 73mph....

Thats also why there is bracket racing....

yes it is. You said that since you run 660 ft in 8.8, then that is the same as you running 330 ft in 4.4 seconds. That would only be correct if you were running a constant velocity. That is the same as saying a 14 second 1/4 mile car runs a 7 in the 1/8.

The only thing that would make the above picture better is if it came with a video where when it revved it sounded like it came straight from hell, and then as soon as the clutch was released it made the amazing speed of an off the shelf 12hp riding lawn mower :D

IT RUNS 4.6 IN 300FT @ 68 MPH ON RACE GAS, I JUST PUT IT ON METHONOL SO IT SHOULD GO FASTER.

thats correct. velocity and speed are the same. speed=velocity=distance/time

acceleration is what is key in drag racing.
a = Δv/Δt =change in velocity/change in time.

what was stated would imply that his velocity was constant which impossible. he just made an assumption based on laws of averages.
