It would be virtually irrelevant for you to gather that data unless it was a very similar car, with similar mods, in similar conditions, with similar air, on similar tires, etc...

I just got back from the races not too long ago. It was my first time ever racing, so I have no idea if I did good or bad. But my 60' time best was a 2.17 (with street tires 245 width) and my best 1/8 mile time was 9.31. Is that good or bad?

not bad for the first time out...but the 60 could definately improve...is this a 5 speed or auto? I consider 2.0-2.1 to be pretty good for an auto. 5 speeds should be able to cut better 60s...1.9-2.0s |

get some better tires and im sure you will improve.
you should be able to do 1.8s to 2.0s with a decent set of drag radials
it will improve your e.t. by a lot

It all comes down to the traction of two factors. The tires you are using and the condition of the track. My track is known for not having that good of a prep so sticky tires are a must. The best I could do with Nitto's was a 2.1, no matter what I did I coud not cut a sub 2.0 with the Nitto's at this track. I switched to MT ET Streets and my first night running them I cut a 1.808 which stands as my best 60" to date. I launched I believe at 3,500-4,000 RPMS and pretty much dumped it. Cant wait to get back this year and try it some more, this was late in the season and I never got the chance to go back and improve on it.
