This was the absolute fastest pass made by this car, and the fastest 330

1.403
3.74
5.86 115.7
9.29 142.3

This was the fastest 60 foot ever by the same car with the lights tripped by the front tires





1.28


I feel this is pretty accurate, a 67 Chevelle that trips on the rear tires runs about 12 hundreths quicker than the 60 foot clocks indicate.

My 68 Chevelle very consistently goes 1.395 on the rear tires, 3.73 330 although a shorter wheel base than the 67.
