Nothing to do with "wheelies" but 60' to 330', PG vs. 3 speed.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
Again, the OP's question was...
NOT whether they are need for your car to hook, NOT whether they are fun, NOT about SLR, NOT about any specific combo or car, NOT about PG vs. 3 speed Quote:
If you get to the 60 foot clocks slower and you WILL, breaking the beam with any part of the car behind the front tires no mind the back tires, you WILL run a slower ET! That statement is indisputable and FACT! Last edited by 1320racer; Today at 12:28 PM. |

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
Too broad and vague a question to answer without making personal opinions from personal experiences and assumptions. But I'm quite certain that the moderator is happy with all of the personal responses though.

For the type of cars discussed in this forum, Stock/Super stock and their related bracket car counterparts, meaning small tire cars with stock/bolt on suspensions as well back halved cars, the FACT remains what you lose or gain in 60 foot directly effects the ET!

If you get to the 60 foot clocks slower and you WILL, breaking the beam with any part of the car behind the front tires no mind the back tires, you WILL run a slower ET! Checked log back on one of the 60’ rear tire days. 1/8 mile track 1st pass 60? with fronts 1.356 sixty 4.111 330 6.451 1/8 104.5 mph. Second pass 60? with rears 1.495 sixty 4.109 330 6.450 1/8 104.8 mph. But a hillbilly shouldn’t be in a conversation with someone with an apparent IQ of 1000 so my last comment on this subject.

Re: ET with and without wheelie.
Ok this is the last one if a car normally sets the front tires down right at the sixty but occasionally sets em down slightly passed now reading from the back tires be slower ET? Your assumption maybe correct for a car with the front tires still in the air at the sixty.
