2022 C8 launching

[Murray20c8]

When I was around 20 years old I had a Dodge Demon 340 with big Micky Thompson tires on the back with ladder bars to help with traction and headers. It was pulling consistent 13's. To bad this is the only picture I have of it with my then girlfriend in it who later became my wife and then after many years ex wife. LOL. Wish I still had the car. Not her.

Beauty! (The car, not the wife )
Here is mine! 1971 Plum crazy Duster 340.
Best time 14.38 on bias ply street tires

Loved the names Chrysler used back then. I was waiting for them to come out with a purple one called Statutory Grape.

Omg that one would have been the last straw for me on this site. Thanks for taking the heat lol....

Your reaction time has no effect on your quarter mile time FYI

Yeah but leaving slower should I would think.

A slow reaction time has no correlation to a slow or fast launch

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Reaction time is when you first move after the light turns green. You can leave 3 seconds late and still pull off a PB record time...

 

[Murray20c8]

Exactly. The time doesn't start until you hit the trap at the starting line, but the R/T is the time it takes you to get to that trap after the light turns green.

Beauty car there. You don't see that colour hardly ever. Was one of my favourites back in the day.

Yeah but I left slower because of the wheel hop. Once I got past the lights I floored it. Just there was a stretch of sticky pavement that wasn't agreeing with my tires.

 

[Jack Raccoon!]

Yeah ok, that makes sense too. I don't have much DR experience. I defer to CamsC8....

Your R/T won't affect your quarter mile time, your 60ft time is the important one.

I think that is what Jack was saying, in a raccoon fashion.
