Drag Strip Performance

Have you ever wondered just how fast your car might really be in the quarter mile? Guess no more -- take it to your local drag strip and find out! Once you know for sure I'll gladly post your results and a copy of your time slip, and we'll confirm how our cars really measure up. Results for both 1/8 mile runs and 1/4 mile runs are both appreciated.

You can send me either an image file copy of your time slip, or a clear photocopy. Please send image files via email to the address below, but please try to keep the size of the file as small as possible. Paper copies can be sent using info found on the registry contact page.

Before I can post your results I need to understand some thing about your car: what year is it, and what kind of modifications (if any) it was sporting for the run. I won't post anything if you don't provide this info, and I won't post any results without a time slip to document the results. It would also be nice to know the environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, etc.) under which the run was made. Finally, your car must be registered to have results posted here.

If you're interested in drag strip results reported in magazine articles over the years please check out the books and articles page.
