2.2 seconds to accelerate the first 60 feet.
The first 60' can make or break the race.
Usually if you have a low 60' time (2.3 2.4 etc) its due to traction issues. Runing slicks, a good driver can pull a 1.6 or even faster 60's time

it is the time it takes u to go 60', people post 2.2, 2.3 because they got street tires and it usually means they spin pretty bad, most of the guys on slicks are hitting 1.6-2.o which are badass times, i HEARD....1 10th of your 60' is 2 or 3 10ths of your trap ET.........please tell me if im wrong.

i dropped 2tenths off my time when i dropped my 60' by .1 not sure if that is enuff to justify how much you would really lose. i also lost a mile or two on my trapspeed by cutting a little better 60ft.

HT is ******* gay because of over-critical cry babies like yourself. Save your breath and time by not posting some bullshit post even worse than the so called "gay" posts above yours.

Oh, so now that someone tells you to STFU, you play the whole "mature" HT member instead of the "**** you because you made an honest mistake" type member. Funny.

jdmjeff - hope that answered yoru question.

Here's what they give you at a 1/4 mile track when you make a pass.

R/T - .773 - Reaction Time - under .500 i believe will give you an 'fault'
60 - 2.148 - 60 foot Time &lt;----what you asked about
330 - 5.975 - 330' Time
1/8 - 9.115 MPH - 78.77 - 1/8th mile and MPH
1000 - 11.840 - 1000 foot Time
1/4 - 14.147 @ 97.19 MPH - 1/4 mile Time and MPH

Just in case you missed what some of them said.
Slicks are racing tires that have no thread, flat rubber, gives alot better traction.
