all the speeds are purely theoretical based only on wheelspeed..lot of factors at play..biggest thing will be keeping tires on rims and cars on the ground,..i think most will be lucky to make 80 mph..sure gonna be a blast trying..and cold up here so traction will definatly be an issue  ..bought myself a supporting membership last night |

ya have to figure a good stretch to run on...maybee ioco, have had a few speed runs there and not much traffic, but trying for 80-100 might be sketchy .and do a bit of tire research although not alot of options for my project

punching through roll out calculators and a bunch of other programs im coming up w/ a top speed of 184mph at about 80mph a a strong enough gust of wind, little crack in the track or a small pebble just sends my dragster tumbling Quote:

a quick heads up. anyone have any problems with the motor interferance shutting off GPS? i had my garmin mounted to the motor pod, and every time i would try to make a pass or even give it gas in my hand, the GPS unit would shut off when i gave it throttle. could it be the magnets? or RF noise? or just coincidence? (im running old school brushed) |

That is weird, haven't heard of that. I plan on mounting my gps way forward so it should be a good 6-8" from the motor. |

for us canuks i have a stalker radar gun lined up so no worries about gernading your gps..and buddy might even let us use his optical time trap system..bit of a speed freak himself ..so hopefully mission works out if not we should pick a date and place |

Ok so for the crawler class it says it must be a crawler body. Does that mean a scaler or a puller body would be ok as long as its truck-ish or what exactly did you have in mind?
