I could possibly do 1/8 mile. Closest 1/4 track is 2 hours away and I’m not driving that far to track my daily.

I dont blame you. I wouldn't either.

I live up in Vermont so there's no drag strip am I allowed to post my time in here if it's confirmed consistent with a gTech pro meter, obd2 program, GPS (if fast enough) thru all calculators and through a g meter only then computing?

Those generally aren’t the same as the track

Right, if a one ft roll out is included wouldn't that make as much as 2 to 3 tenths of a second quicker?

.2 or .3 is pushing it. But I’ve had gtechs before and they weren’t quite what I was getting at the track.

The track is kind of absolute, gmeters will just give you an idea. Plus, they’re also easily manipulated even unintentionally, if the road was slightly downhill or uphill, that can throw off the time.

Found this one buried in an old thread. Not sure why they chose not to post on this thread after all my whining (unless they are not active on the forum anymore).

Nice!

Says they were active today.

UPDATED.

Im having trouble making sense of the fact that we dont have one entry from the West Coast. When that is arguably the largest US market for BMW.

California is a ginormous state, and a google search showed 20 drag strips in the entire state. That might be part of the problem...

Exactly.

I have 6 or 7 within a 45 minute drive but they’re all 1/8 mile. 😭😭

My closest 1/8 is about 2 minutes away and it's in the parking lot of the old SD Chargers stadium parking lot. Top quality!!!

I bet the prep is amazing 😂😂

By far the best. I love it two, because they have 4 lanes total for 2 concurrent races. Left track is for those with drag radials and right is for "street cars". Left isn't the absolute worst, it's like prepping a stoplight and racing from there. Right lane for supposed street cars really should be for off-road vehicles because I guarantee not even drag radials will grip whatever those pot-hole filled lanes are.

ilivas · 06-27-2018, 02:56 PM

Sounds like you need some radials. Haha

Honestly, snow chains or spikes that safely detach after 60ft are the only way I'm gonna stick in that parking lot

Were you fantasizing when you posted this or do you have a matching slip?

Luckily New Jersey is riddled with 1/4 mile drag strips lol. I have two within 40 minutes, one of them's only 20 mins
