1/4 mile round skid pad? Ok.





Been there, done that. Its a freakin blast! Look a few posts down at the oval track advice thread. Current world record is 9.90...on an quarter mile...oval. Just think, 9.9 at the drags is 135 mph and is considered fast, so on an oval you have to be knocking on the door of 145-150 before throwing it into a 90* turn surrounded by concrete walls. How's that for big brass ones?


I'll have to read that thread. I mentioned what I did on a 1/4 oval at midnight years ago with my street car, '71 Sebring, in the "How much RPM have you had your engine" thread. Don't know how quick per lap, the others forgot the stop watch, but it was fun, expecialy in the dark. Had the rearend start to loosen up and come around, but a light lift of the throttle and all was fine. Had to quit when the lifters started to rattle. Some 10 or 15 laps of fun. I even drove their Open Comp Camaro, during the day for a few laps. Had the tail of that a little happy one time. I was on their pit crew for a few years.
